Today’s Breakthroughs: Tomorrow’s Cures
When we launched this series in 1989, we called it “Today’s Breakthroughs: Tomorrow’s Cures” and it was the most popular series in the country, reaching 150 tv stations with 50 million viewers. We later changed the name to the shorter “Medical Breakthroughs” and it continues to be our most successful series ever. A viewer in Orlando, Florida just wrote our station client in South Bend, Indiana to thank them for one of our stories on their website since 2014 because he just found it and his daughter is going to the doctor in Houston this month to get the surgery. Everyone at Ivanhoe loves to hear how our stories help people and I hope you do also!
