Across Central Pennsylvania last summer, community discussion groups gathered to talk about The Washington Post correspondent and National Public Radio commentator T. R. Reid ‘s bestselling book, “The Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care.”

witf Public Media’s Transforming Health initiative Aligning Forces for Quality – South Central PA teamed up with the Central PA library systems to encourage residents to start discussing health care in our communities and ideas for making improvements. Learn more.

As a producer of Transforming Health, I produced the segment above for witf‘s Emmy Award-winning current events TV series, “Smart Talk.” I also managed the interactive presence of the effort.

The Summer Reid community collaboration was a finalist at the Central Penn Business Journal Nonprofit Innovation in Collaboration Awards in 2o13
