Although data from southern hemisphere countries regarding flu rates are somewhat better than expected, we cannot let our guard down regarding a possible combined influenza/COVID-19 Fall/Winter season.

It's rewarding when I can put a spotlight on a worthy cause and also illustrate an actual example of the good that comes from them. This week my guests will be ...Nancy Ryan, Director of Marketing & Community Relations at Finger Lakes Donor Recovery Network and a name you are sure to know Scott Hetsko, the meteorologist from WHAM 13 news. As a recent recipient of a new heart, Scott will be here to talk about his journey and I am sure that he will illustrate that organ donation is more than an abstract concept. Tune in this Saturday to WHAM 1180 to listen or listen online at: https://ihr.fm/2sfD18F
