PBS documentary follows health care providers in rural N.M.

A new PBS documentary called "The Providers" explores rural health care in northern New Mexico communities ravaged by poverty and the opioid epidemic.

"Through the eyes of physician assistant Matt Probst, family physician Dr. Leslie Hayes and nurse practitioner Chris Ruge, the film shows how the health care providers from El Centro Family Health Center refuse to pass judgment on their patients who are just trying to get to the next day," Russell Contreras reports for The Associated Press. "El Centro is a group of clinics in northern New Mexico that helps people in a region four times as large as Connecticut."

The film debuts this week. Learn more about it here or watch it online here.
