Pat is still struggling with how to explain her job to her non-TV family. They keep asking her for medical advice. With 25 years of production experience in the areas of medical education, instructional media and broadcast television, Pat sometimes even comes up with a good answer.

You can see Pat's work on Hometown Housecall, now airing in public tv markets from Quincy to Carbondale. If you've visited one of Illinois' state parks, the magnificent videos were written, produced and edited by Pat during many years of collaboration with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
