A day on the road with a visiting nurse

Home health and hospice nurses provide all kinds of healthcare to people in their homes, day and night, in mud and snow. They are better than the postal service.

I knew of these folks because I met some of them after my father came home from the hospital. A nurse came to help with his medications. A therapist came to give him physical therapy. But I wasn’t really aware of these nurses and therapists until my family really needed them, and I expect there are a lot of people out there like me. So this is a show about the nurses who travel, and what their days are like, and what they know about this place because of the work they do.
