OCTOBER 2020 PROGRAM GUIDE pbsreno.org • 775.600.0555 YOUR COMEBACK STARTS HERE. The Region’s Leading Rehabilitation Hospital Your health is worth fighting for. As northern Nevada’s rehabilitation hospital, Renown battles with you through every step of recovery. From traumatic injuries and accidents to stroke care, we’re right here to help you come back — and move forward. Benjamin Pence, DO, Physiatrist Kurt A. Mische President & CEO Programs about Social Justice As we consider today’s conversations about inclusion and social justice, PBS Reno is setting aside time each Monday evening at 10pm beginning October 5 to air programs that highlight the many contributions from people of color in our society. These documentary programs will tell compelling stories produced by or about people whose accomplishments impact all of us. Some of the stories are happy, some are not, some are difficult to watch; all are important as we consider how we have arrived at today’s conversations about social justice. Some are locally produced and all will make an impact as we consider who we are as a society today. Please make time to join us for these impactful programs each Monday evening at 10pm beginning October 5 on PBS Reno. Meetings of the PBS Reno Board of Trustees, Board Committees and the Community Advisory Board are held at the PBS Reno offices at 1670 N. Virginia Street, Reno, Nevada. Please call 775-600-0555 or visit pbsreno.org for days, times, and agendas. PBS Reno Program Guide (USPS #170) is published monthly by Channel 5 Public Broadcasting, 1670 N.
