A Chat with Susan Harris about Nursing Homes and Elder Care Here in Tulsa

Public Radio Tulsa | By Rich Fisher
Published November 28, 2017 at 11:45 AM CST
Aired on Monday, November 20th.

On this edition of ST Medical Monday, we speak with Susan Harris, a longtime economic-development advocate and public-education expert here in Tulsa. Harris recently retired from the Tulsa Regional Chamber, where she served as the Senior Vice-President of Education and Workforce Development. Harris is also an active caregiver; she has personally assisted a few different elderly relatives who were admitted to nursing homes in our community, and she continues to help certain family members in this way. She speaks with us candidly about these matters -- and about other public-health issues here in Greater Tulsa.
