Out of Their Way: Seeking Health in America

September 28, 2011

Tim Cunningham, R.N., M.S.N.

In this Medical Center Hour, "Out of Their Way: Seeking Health in America, Wise County 2009," Tim Cunningham, author and actor, of Charlottesville, VA performs a portion of his full-length play and thus gives voice to our unique neighbors in Wise County, Virginia. Using the forms, tools, and techniques of theater, this production seeks to raise awareness, spark conversation, and inspire change that can directly affect those persons who most need medical care. The presentation takes a local snapshot of a pressing global issue--lack of health care and lack of access to basic medical support. In the U.S., more than 50 million of our fellow citizens, more than 9 million of them children, have no health care.
