Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A Planned Parenthood in Santa Cruz, Ca.
The recent deadly shootings at a Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic and a Minnesota hospital have revived questions — and renewed patients’ concerns — about security at healthcare facilities. The incidents bear out grim national statistics: a 2010 study by the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that health care workers are nearly five times more likely to be assaulted or harmed by another person than the average worker in all industries combined. With mass shootings on the rise, we consider the safety precautions that medical facilities can — and must — take to protect patients and staff.
