Research Channel programming on WSU-TV 13

The week of May 18, on WSU-TV 13, Research Channel programming includes stories of three people who have prospered in spite of living with a serious mental illness. Another program discusses how lung disease can lead to transplants in some patients.

Demonstrating the value of meaningful work and supportive employers, "I Want To Be" will inspire those who are living with a mental illness to know they can succeed, employers to appreciate that hiring people with a mental illness is good for business and professionals in the mental health fields that their partnership with people striving to make a better life can pay dividends.

Another show this week, "New Lungs: Gift of Life," discusses how lung disease can lead to transplants in some patients. It takes an entire team of medical professionals to assist a patient from the initial diagnosis into day-to-day treatment and finally surgery and recovery.
