An Ounce of Prevention By some estimates, every dollar spent on prevention today could yield savings of more than five dollars in future health care costs.  Capital Public Radio's newest documentary "An Ounce of Prevention" profiles community health innovators in California and Mexico who are championing strategies and technologies to help people become more resilient and require less medical care.  We'll speak with Capital Public Radio Health Reporter Pauline Bartolone about her reporting for the documentary "An Ounce of Prevention," which will air April 6 at 10:00 am and 8:00 pm in place of Insight.
