This week: Existential questions, coronavirus research and emergency care during a pandemic

The coronavirus pandemic is keeping many people in seclusion and that provides time to reflect on our health and relationships.

Dr. Susan Levinsohn talks about the value of wrestling with existential questions and how this pandemic might be the perfect time to replace bad habits with healthy ones, in this episode of "HealthLink on Air." Levinsohn is an assistant professor of family medicine at Upstate who specializes in integrative medicine.

Also on the show, scientist Frank Middleton discusses coronavirus research projects underway at Upstate, and emergency physician, Dr. William Paolo explains how safe a visit to the emergency department is during the pandemic. Listen this Sunday, May 17 at 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. for "HealthLink on Air."

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.
