NPR—N.C. Program A Model For Health Overhaul?

Posted by Kendall Harmon

ROSE HOBAN: Every day is busy for nurse Juanita Larkens(ph).

Ms. JUANITA LARKENS (Nurse): Good afternoon. This is Juanita. How can I help you?

HOBAN: She's one of three nurses who manage Medicaid patients at Goldsboro Pediatrics. Goldsboro is a growing town surrounded by old tobacco fields that are being converted to suburbs. About 15,000 Medicaid-eligible children come to the clinic.

Ms. LARKENS: All of them are not known to us, I mean, but those that are introduced to us by whatever means, we will attempt to help them if we can.

Listen to it all.
