My weekly forums, which are simulcast on radio, television and online, have reached hundreds of thousands of our neighbors with important information related to COVID-19. On May 1st we covered three big topics:

• Segment #1: Is depression and anxiety on the rise as our nation battles COVID-19? What should we be aware of, and what are the warning signs we should know about? I'll was joined by Dr. Connie Guille, a psychiatrist and Associate Professor at the Medical University of South Carolina to help answers these questions and more.
• Segment #2: How have children in South Carolina been affected by COVID-19? What's the latest with childcare providers, and programs to help vulnerable children and adults during this pandemic? Michael Leach, the Director of the SC Dept. of Social Services joined the program to discuss.
• Segment #3: What can you expect if you need to be tested for COVID-19? What's the process like? Is it painful? How long does it take? Where do you go? Joining me in-studio to answer these questions were two experts from Affinity Health Center: Executive Director Anita Case, and Medical Director Dr. Craig Charles.

This program featured a variety of excellent questions about the current state of COVID-19, and our how nation should move forward from a healthcare prospective. You can replay this program above or click here to watch on YouTube.
