National rural call-in show to feature UNMC leaders

UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, M.D., and College of Nursing Dean Juliann Sebastian, Ph.D., will be guests Monday on a national television show focusing on rural America.

“Rural America Live” is an hourlong show that begins at 7 p.m. CDT on RFD-TV, a national digital cable and satellite television channel that is owned by Rural Media Group. Rural Media Group’s founder and CEO, Patrick Gottsch, lives in Elkhorn, Neb.

“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to share the vision of UNMC and focus on our expertise in rural health care to a national audience,” Dr. Gold said. “We look forward to engaging in discussion and serving as a trusted resource to viewers of the program.”

“Rural America Live” — formerly titled “RFD-TV Live” — is the longest-running show produced by RFD-TV. The hourlong program gives viewers the chance to interact with each week’s panel of experts in an interactive call-in format, allowing them to learn about matters of interest to rural America.
