Radio Show Dishes Out Accurate Information

In a world struggling for fair access to quality health care and information, Chicago-based Equal Hope is on a mission to provide superior health education to their community. In addition to supplying free health resources, education on breast and cervical cancer, medical home health, and COVID-19 testing and vaccination, Equal Hope goes a step further by hosting a Saturday radio show called “Equal Health for All” on Chicago station WVON 1690AM. On the program, they host experts and doctors to discuss COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccines and provide opportunities for community members to call in with questions and concerns. Many questions pertain to misinformation about COVID-19, giving the experts a chance to share accurate information with the wider audience. Some callers also share personal stories of how people in their lives were impacted by the disease. The show format is conversational, and featured doctors and experts are sourced from community organizations and by recommendation of local healthcare providers.
