This week: COVID-19 care in Queens; study of household contacts

A nurse practitioner who is a colonel in the Army Reserve spent two months at Queens Central Hospital, caring for patients with COVID-19 when New York City was hardest hit by the pandemic.

Patricia Goodyear tells about her experience and how it differed markedly from the type of care she is used to delivering at Syracuse's Upstate Medical University in this week’s “HealthLink on Air.”

Also on the show: Infectious disease epidemiologist, Dr. Katie Anderson discusses a study of households with COVID-19. Listen this Sunday, July 5 at 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. for "HealthLink on Air."

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.
