The Health & Wellness New Desk is funded by Highmark BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York and KSL Diagnostics.

For a region to thrive, its people need to be healthy; inadequacies in health and wellness have a range of social and economic consequences that affect many members of our community. Health inequality, cancer clusters, and high rates of heart disease and obesity are all part of the fabric of WNY, as much as the world-class research and treatment providers that are becoming a growing part of the region’s economic power. WBFO is committed to providing listeners with incisive reports on all of these issues that affect their lives.

Western New York has a large, diverse veteran community. WBFO is committed to focusing more attention on the issues that this population faces and to educate the public about the important ways veterans are contributing to our community.

The WBFO Women's News Desk is funded by the Catholic Health System.

The WBFO Women’s News Desk promotes the contributions made by women in the community.

Through these reports WBFO will connect with women throughout the region who may have never been featured in media reports – and give them a platform to tell their stories. The desk explores the rich legacy that women have played in our region, featuring stories about the women who have served as pioneers in helping to advance human rights, fight for equality, and improve standards of living. These reports range from long-form features and interviews to spot news that will help better understand how women are making their mark on the regional landscape on a daily basis.

A new media initiative aims to shed light on caregivers for older adults and investigate potential solutions to their challenges. WBFO and nine other media outlets in western New York are tackling the issue as part of a journalism collaborative supported by the Solutions Journalism Network.
