Healthcare Worker Diaries: Healthcare workers have been slammed by the pandemic. They also have incredible stories to share. In our BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) Healthcare Worker Diary segments, listeners get first-hand accounts of what it was like during the height of the pandemic & what they are seeing & treating now. The 2-minute segments will motivate listeners to take steps to protect themselves from & care for themselves & others if they get COVID. Special thanks to the Minnesota Association of Community Health Centers for their partnership in this project.
Elder Health Advice: Native American Elders are viewed as mentors, teachers, and intergenerational transmitters of knowledge. The elders interviewed for these segments will not give medical advice but will draw on personal experiences, culture, and history to help reinforce Minnesota Department of Health information.
