(LOS ANGELES) - Exploring all topics related to health care, the Managed Care Reform Council’s new radio show American Dawn will examine the effects of workplace contamination and the impact on the health and well being of the workers who unknowingly are exposed to toxins.

In such trying economic times, our country’s workforce will silently accept unsafe conditions in exchange for steady employment. Yet, in time, some employees will find that their health has deteriorated to a point where they are unable to fulfill the requirements of the job.

A nuclear plant worker who found herself in a similar position will share her experience and her journey to educate others on American Dawn.

Vina Colley felt fortunate to work at the nuclear plant where she was able to make a comfortable living while working on projects that served our country. Feeling a false sense of security with the hard hat and safety glasses rules, she soon realized such plant accessories were no match for the radiation and hazardous chemicals that she was exposed to from her first day of employment until the day she lost her job.

Concerned for her personal safety and the safety of her co-workers, Ms. Colley filed safety complaints for years hoping that her concerns would be heard and that she would be assured a safe work place. Due to her advocacy, she lost her job. Due to the condition of her workplace, she lost her health.

American Dawn can be heard on HTH radio at hthradio.net on Wednesdays at 4:00 p.m. eastern/1:00 p.m. pacific. American Dawn host Vickie Travis was the previous host of the long running “The Vickie Travis Hour” at Highway to Health.

She is a well known patient advocate who has taken her tragic experience with an HMO system and utilized the internet, radio, and social media to become a leading advocate for HMO reform.

American Dawn is one of several outreach advocacy projects of The Managed Care Reform Council.
