S1E41 - Dr. Nick Hysmith, Dr. (Jack) Shannon Jr, and Angela Hamblen Kelly

Real Talk Memphis with Chip Washington

Episode Notes

My guests include Dr. Nick Hysmith, Infectious disease physician, Medical Director of Infection Prevention, Le Bonheur Children's Hospital. As was predicted, the Delta variant has become far worse that initially thought and our children are being affected at a dangerous rate never seen before. He will breakdown the numbers and where things can go. Back in June, Dr. (Jack) Shannon Jr, CBU President, said that anyone coming on campus must be vaccinated. He joins me to discuss what went into this decision and if or how it might affect the financial bottom line. Finally, the pain of the loss of a family member to COVID can not be measured. Angela Hamblen Kelly is the Exec Dir of Baptist Centers for Good Grief, which addresses the growing demand for children and adult counseling services for people who don’t feel safe to mourn but trying to survive. This will be a powerful show you won’t want to miss. Its RTM, Monday, 6-7 pm on WYXR 91.7 FM, Tunein, WYXR.org or wherever you get your podcasts. Also now on Facebook Live!
