“Idaho hospitals are being crushed by the most recent COVID surge. Cases are increasing and Idahoans are concerned,” said Lupe Wissel, AARP Idaho state director. “With a critical shortage of hospital beds, one of the country’s lowest vaccination rates and colder weather and flu season right around the corner, Idahoans have questions. These town halls are a great place to get those answers.”
Future calls with Governor Little and health experts are scheduled for noon to 1pm MT on Wednesday, October 13 and Tuesday, October 26.
