Gulf Coast Life
Monday through Thursday at 1 & 10PM
Gulf Coast Life is a locally produced talk show that strives to connect listeners to the people, places, and things that make Southwest Florida unique.
Monday (6/1): We're joined by Lee Health’s President & CEO, Dr. Larry Antonucci, to talk about how the coronavirus outbreak has impacted the overall health system, and the community – and to hear his vision for the future as reopening continues to expand here in Florida. And we’ll get an update on Lee Health’s convalescent plasma trial. They’ve been collecting plasma from people who have recovered from COVID-19 to test if it might help patients with active infections.
