The Durham County Government Show
 
In Touch with Durham County
 

The "In Touch with Durham County Government Show" provides governmental programming and access to your local government and provides timely, ongoing coverage of Durham County Government through the Government Access Television program. 

 

"In Touch with Durham County," a new talk show now airs daily on Cable Channel 8.  This new show replaces the former Durham County Government Show that viewers have enjoyed since 1991.  Michael Page, Chairman of the Durham Board of County Commissioners and Assistant County Manager Deborah Craig-Ray are the hosts.

 

The purpose of the show is to share relevant, timely information from Durham County community partner agencies, as well as provide interviews with elected officials, county department heads and key staff. Future topics include fall elections, updates on H1N1 or "swine flu," and county nonprofit agencies.

Show Details

On the February 2012 edition of the "In Touch with Durham County Show," the show's host, Deborah Craig-Ray, and Michael Page sat down with Kevin Underhill, quality assurance coordinator for Durham County Emergency Medical Services, and Dr. Jamie Jollis, professor of Medicine and Radiology and cardiologist for the Duke University Medical Center, to discuss the Save-A-Life Program.  The program involving the collaborative efforts of Durham's first responders and Duke University Medical Center, works to urge the residents to receive CPR training and take action when witnessing Sudden Cardiac Arrest.  The program's goal is to reduce the number of deaths due to Sudden Cardiac Arrest by encouraging bystanders with proper training to use their life-saving training.     

Past Events and Guests of the "In Touch with Durham County Government Show"

On last month's show, the show's host, Deborah Craig-Ray, and Michael Page talked to Tyrone Everett, executive director of CET( Center for Employment and Training) about the organization’s work that helps participants gain independence and economic self-sufficiency.  The Center for Employment Training is an economic and community development corporation that promotes human development and education by providing people with marketable skills, training and supportive services.
