From Redding To The Land Of Ebola

Wikimedia

Shasta County nurse practitioner Susie Foster recently returned to work after an extended leave.

But don't think of it as a vacation... Foster went to Sierra Leone in Africa to help treat Ebola patients.

It was neither fun nor easy, and it was not the first time Foster, from Hill Country Clinic in Round Mountain, made such a journey.

She also assisted earthquake victims in Haiti five years ago, among other trips.

She joins us with the story of her time overseas.
