Aired on Monday, March 26th.

Join us for a new four-part series devoted to health and health care in America, as host John Schumann speaks with top health professionals about the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, the latest brain research on adolescents, geriatric health, and the social and community factors that drive ill health.

Schumann has been the guest host for StudioTulsa on Health for the past year, and now looks to demystify medicine and health care with Medical Matters with John Schumann, a series of four hour-long shows devoted to contemporary issues in American health care. The programs will air Thursdays at noon, on Feb. 20, Feb. 27, March 6, and March 13, with rebroadcasts on Friday nights at 8pm.

Dr. Schumann is the director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program at the University of Oklahoma School of Community Medicine; he also writes the blog GlassHospital. 

The series begins Thursday, February 20, with Sherry Glied, Dean of New York University's Graduate School of Public Service, and former official with U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Glied was a key figure in the rollout of the Affordable Care Act.
