From Florence Henderson
Hosting the new program, Good Food, Good Deeds, on RLTV I was shocked to find out that over 6 million seniors in this country face hunger and malnutrition every day. That couldn’t be right, I thought. How can people go hungry right in our own communities? That’s what you see in other places—not here, not so close to home. But it does happen.
From Enid Borden
President & CEO, Meals On Wheels Assn. of America
In a large bowl, combine a cutting-edge cable network that is Redefining Life after 50 with a determined vision to end senior hunger by 2020. Now add two heaping tablespoons of support from a corporate foundation committed to enhancing the health and well-being of people around the world.
Taking Care is a groundbreaking and courageous four-part series examining the growing concerns over caregiving. RLTV knows that 80% of burden rests with the families: the series focuses as much on the caregivers as the care recipients.
A companion program to RLTV’s top rated series Healthline, Whole Body Health adopts a holistic approach to wellness and medical care. Each week award-winning medical journalist Kevin Soden, M.D. takes viewers on a journey into the world of complementary, alternative and integrative medicine.
