A New Valley Town Hall
on Healthcare

What's in store for our healthcare system as our diverse and growing population puts increasing strain on institutions providing care? Is the "Heartbeat of Healthcare" still going strong in the Central Valley?

Join us at 8:00pm on Friday, September 20 as we present the seventh episode in our New Valley series. Our cameras will focus on the plight of the medically uninsured. We'll see how new technologies and new management techniques are providing for the health needs of our rural citizens; bringing health care to the agricultural heartland. We'll also visit the University of California at Davis where new biomedical are being made. And we'll look at the rising costs of prescription drugs, and search for ways to keep those costs in check.

And stay tuned immediately after New Valley for a special "New Valley Town Hall" on healthcare. Hosts Jennifer Fischer and Pat McConahay probe such topics as teen pregnancy and the nursing shortage, with insight and testimony from a panel of experts including: Noe Paramo, head of the Stanislaus County Children and Families Commission; Roger Speed, Director of Health Care Services in San Joaquin County; and Vicki Bermudez of the California Nurses Association.

Be sure to join us on Friday, September 20 at 8pm for an hour of insight, as we take the pulse of healthcare in the Valley…
