Health Matters: Ebola

Aired Thursday, October 30 at 6 p.m. Ebola, once thought to be far from having effects in the U.S., has arrived to touch us at home. Fear of the virus has spread across the nation, but is it warranted and how prepared are we to handle Ebola? In this edition of Health Matters we spoke with Dr. John Vanchiere, Chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases, Dr. Gerald Capraro, Assistant Professor of Pathology from LSU Health, and Knox Andress, RN, Region 7 Hospital Preparedness Coordinator. They provided information and took your calls at 800-552-8502.
