b'Independence Blue Cross is honoring nurses with their Celebrate Caring Campaign. I speak with Koleen Cavanaugh, VP Marketing for IBX who tells us about the program that honors the passion and dedication of these frontline workers. I also speak to the three winners: Michelle Jackson-Ware from Children\\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia , Cookie Sanchez from BAYADA Home Health Care and Steve Footit with the Intensive Care Unit, Virtual Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital. I think you\\u2019ll be inspired.

One of the casualties of the Philadelphia\'s budget cuts due to COVID was the Philadelphia Cultural Fund. The arts community and elected officials were able to work to put back some of the money, but it was less than half previously budgeted. I speak to Barbara Silzle, Executive Director of the Philadelphia Cultural Fund about the impact of these cuts and the critical nature of the arts in the life and economy of the city.
