About Health with Nurse Rona Renner from sister station KPFA

The Declining Health of People in the US

Archival episode, as About Health was preempted on KPFA for a special about the station (and Foundation)'s 75th anniversary. Perhaps you'd like to donate $75 to KPFK on the occasion, or $65 for KPFK's own anniversary of our founding in 1959.

The US had the most COVID deaths of any country. Why is that, and what can we learn about the declining health of our country? Income inequality is a major factor related to increased deaths in the pandemic. Join Nurse Rona and her guest, Dr. Stephen Bezruchka
