Positive Feedback

Health Politics is now about three years old with some 150 programs in the archive. Beyond our growth in numbers and commitment to” the people” and “the people caring for the people,” what keeps us going? Well, one thing for sure is the positive feedback we’ve received from week to week on our programs.

The feedback has come from many leaders in health care, in higher education, in public service and in journalism. But at least as important, if not more to me, has been the short, sincere comments from everyday people concerned about their families’ health and well being.

One simple example came last week from a mother in response to our program on smokeless tabacco. It said, “Hopefully this info will help my son that uses smokeless tobacco.”

We are not so naive to believe that the world can be changed by a single program. But good information, at the right time, in the right place, delivered by someone who you trust and who loves you, can help. Thanks to all of you over the years who have shared your thoughts with us.
