As Laura Ziegler reports in our final report on the facility from Harvest Public Media, some in the community are worried that health care, law enforcement and emergency response teams are not be as prepared as they should be, given the deadly diseases to be studied. ~~~ We delve into the challenges of providing long-term care with Shelly Peterson, president of the North Dakota Long Term Care Association; and Craig Christianson, NDLTCA board chair.
