INTERVIEW

In this episode of Catalyst Radio we feature the local nonprofit Catherine’s Health Center, working to improve access for those in need of health care.

Executive Director Karen Kaashoek joins us in studio to profile the services available through Catherine’s Health Center, including the latest grant-funded effort Heart Smart Connections.

The Health Center, located in northeast Grand Rapids, also offers healthy living programs in other areas of the community, at no cost to participants.

 

MUSIC

Local music featured in this edition of Catalyst Radio comes from The Outer Vibe, out with a new EP called Pass It On. The song is “Glass.”

The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.

We need your help.
