An episode of “Rural Health Matters,” featuring UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, and Anthony Fauci, MD, the now-former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was recognized with a Silver Telly Award.
The episode of “Rural Health Matters,” a medical and health talk show hosted by Christina Loren on RFD-TV, aired on Sept. 19, 2022.
The Telly Awards, in its 44th season, honors excellence and showcases the best work created within television and across video, for all screens. More than 12,000 entries were submitted from all 50 states and across five continents.
