Special Broadcast: America Amplified Call-in Special from the New England News Collaborative

New Hampshire Public Radio will host the next live program in a special series on the coronavirus crisis, looking at the issue from a regional, New England perspective.

Health care professionals are especially urged to call-in and share their stories, as well as others who have had direct experience with navigating the health care system or have a story to tell.

NHPR is a member of NENC – a partnership of 10 public media companies in six states. Together, member stations are working on a series of one-hour, call-in specials on the coronavirus pandemic in our region.
