national health reporter may do a story on “Who is still dying of AIDS in the US.” – looking for interviews
Hi All-
A national health reporter may do a story on “Who is still dying of AIDS in the US.”
I know we have talked about this at the HMHTF and have never been able to put together a presentation for LA at Coping.
Would anyone be interested in speaking with her? She is especially interested in interviewing the providers, family and friends of these people.
I think anyone who passed in the last 5 years would be considered.
Who else would be a good lead for her? The APLA home health nurses?
I think this national feature story could highlight many of the issues we discuss at the HMHTF.
I hope everyone is well.
Best,
Tom
