For the People

We'll open with Ridgefield Prevention Council's co-chair -  a Danbury Emergency room doctor, and a representative of the Midwestern Connecticut Council of Alcoholism about the insidious epidemic of opiate drug addiction happening in Fairfield County, and an event in Ridgefield aimed at preventing young people from falling victim to prescription drugs and heroin addiction. Then we'll visit with the CEO of the Connecticut Health Exchange,which is providing free online resources for families searching for the right health plan, and connecting people with health insurance professionals ready to to help. Then we'll replay an interview with the President of Housatonic Community College first broadcast in September - discussing some of the unique programs HCC offers to connect students of all ages to the state's 21st Century workforce.
