outpatient radio

Outpatient Radio is a participatory community radio show produced in collaboration with Hill Country Health and Wellness Center and with support from Art Rx and Crocker Art Museum. Weaving together the stories of eight chronic pain patients from Solano, Sacramento, and Shasta Counties, the program explores ways to help patients and communities talk about chronic pain and chronic pain treatment. Through collecting and sharing stories in-person, on-air, and online, we are exploring how narratives connect, inform, and support communities through listening and conversation.

Outpatient Radio seeks to:

• combat the stigma and isolation of chronic pain by sharing patient stories
• improve patient and public understanding of the many issues surrounding chronic pain and pain treatment, and
• engage the North State community in this issue through radio programming, interactive listening events, and more.

The program aired twice on KKRN 88.5 FM, a listener-supported radio station based in Round Mountain, CA. Outpatient Radio also aired on KDVS 90.3 FM, a community-based radio station in Davis, CA. You can stream the episode on YouTube.
