(Airdate: October 30, 2021) After a decade of working in the cramped quarters of a former portable classroom at the Mountain View Commons, KPTZ will soon be moving into a spacious new facility in what is said to be Fort Worden’s first building. This week on the Compass, we tour the new studios as the remodel nears completion, and talk about the importance of community radio and the opportunities the move presents.

On today’s program we speak with Doctors Kees Kolff and John Geyman, who are kindred spirits in that they are both current County Board of Health members for Jefferson and San Juan Counties respectively. Both have a thorough grasp of rural health care. Dr. Geyman is a noted author and Professor of Family Medicine, with 14 books on health care and the health care system to his credit. Kees, a former pediatrician, was also Medical Director for a group of rural health care clinics. We have an informative and stimulating discussion surrounding the state of health care in the United States, and challenges and solutions for reform.
