I just had the pleasant surprise of learning that Dr. Bill Thomas would be featured on NPR’s All Things Considered tonight discussing The Green House Project. I learned this thanks to a tweet from ChangingAging Blogstream member Martha Stettinius (@InsideDementia) when I regained cell reception after a two hour drive through canyon country to Grand Junction, Colo.
It still amazes me how quickly the ChangingAging community has grown and how incredible it is to rely on far-flung members to keep up to date on important news. Thanks Martha!
I’m blogging via iPhone at The Denver airport so I’ll borrow Martha’s post from this morning:
I just heard on the radio that Dr. Bill Thomas of The Green House Project will be interviewed on NPR’s All Things Considered TODAY at 5 p.m. ET. Those of you who have read my book know that I think highly of the Green House Project, a radical alternative to conventional nursing home care. Only a few of us are lucky enough to have one nearby, but more and more Green Houses are being built across the country.
Listen to his interview today, or download the recording from the NPR website after today: http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=2
Congratulations to all who have had a part in growing Green House. This piece shows how and why it can be different.
