This week: trauma services, spiritual care and health screenings

This week on Healthlink on Air: we hear from Dr. Tamer Ahmed, medical director of pediatric trauma services and Steve Adkisson, the pediatric trauma program manager. They'll cover the resources and capabilities of Upstate University Hospital's trauma center.

Plus: the Rev. Terry Culbertson and spiritual care volunteer Walt Wasilewski talk about a new book of stories drawn from spiritual care experiences. Nurse midwife Heather Shannon goes over the recommended health screenings for women. And psychologist Rich O’Neill promotes self efficacy in our “Check Up From the Neck Up” segment.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
