Utah StoryCorps - Hope and Healing
Wednesdays at 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. Thursdays at 7:42 and 8:42 a.m.
StoryCorps founder David Isay traveled to Utah where he met with healthcare providers, clinicians and caretakers to explain why storytelling can be a source of hope and healing. In partnership with Intermountain Healthcare, Utah Public Radio is bringing these storytelling conversations to you, centered around the healthcare industry. The conversations in these segments are unique to Utah.
Support for programming on Utah Public Radio comes from Intermountain Healthcare, a Utah-based not-for-profit system of 24 hospitals, 215 clinics, 2,500 employed doctors and advanced practice providers, a health insurance company called SelectHealth, and other health services in Idaho, Utah, and Nevada.
