Mid-Iowa Health provides money for health reporter position at IPR
Iowa Public Radio plans to add a full-time health care reporter to expand its health care coverage, through major funding support provided by the Mid-Iowa Health Foundation. “This grant will help IPR grow our reporting statewide and expand our coverage of the key health issues facing Iowa’s communities,” IPR Executive Director Myrna Johnson said. “The potential for this position to grow and leverage other opportunities for health reporting is enormous.” The new position will also allow IPR to participate, for the first time, in regional and national health reporting partnerships.
