In what’s quickly becoming a regular weekly feature at KZMU News, we check in with Jen Sadoff, CEO of Moab Regional Hospital. She fills us in on the hospital’s outlook this week, after the first positive COVID-19 test in Grand County. She clarifies the testing process, explains virtual intensive care units, and in honor of 'Doctors' Day' on Monday – asks for virtual thank you notes from the community for her hard-working staff. Plus, our radio partners report on how the current pandemic is exacerbating concerns about the effectiveness of the 2020 Census, and interview a disability rights advocate. Tune in.
