Newest Episode from The Filling Station studio

Brendan Lake has spent eight years as a heart failure nurse, watching patients from Jones County make the long trip to Greenville for care more often than anyone should have to. Now, as a PhD candidate in nursing research at East Carolina University, he is doing something about it. In Episode 31,
Mary Ann LeRay sits down with Brendan at The Filling Station to talk about his ongoing study on how people with heart failure in rural communities manage a low-salt diet, and why asking patients directly is the only way to get it right.

The Salt Problem: ECU nurse Brendan Lake studies how rural heart failure patients in Eastern NC manage low-salt diets. Join the conversation in Jones County.
