NHPTV Connections Civil And Uncivil Drama On Sundays Mercy Street
Medical boundaries continue to be tested at Mansion House, even while Dr. Jedidiah Foster's absence is questioned as he secretly struggles with his morphine addiction. An unexpected visitor creates a stir at the hospital, and the Green family tries to maintain their status and property while avoiding signing the Union's loyalty oath. Based on real events, Mercy Street takes viewers beyond the battlefield and into the lives of a distinctive cast of characters – doctors, nurses, contraband laborers and Southern loyalists – showing the chaotic world of Union-occupied Alexandria, Virginia, and the Mansion House Hospital in the early years of the Civil War.

February 2016 More NHPTV To Love
February is freezing, and by nature a month that my wife Kathy and I prefer to stay tucked in watching new and old PBS favorites. The variety of programs is fantastic as we click from NHPTV PRIME to NHPTV EXPLORE to WORLD and CREATE. If you like to keep up with public affairs and current events, WORLD is for you, too. From Newsline to America Reframed and Charlie Rose, documentaries from Independent Lens and investigative reporting from Frontline, WORLD keeps us up on local and global affairs. If you're a fan of cooking programs, gardening, home fix-it programs, or get a kick out of Bob Ross and his Joy of Painting, you probably are already a fan of CREATE. This channel is the go-to for how-to! Having trouble finding these four channels? We know it's confusing depending on your service provider. Just go to nhptv.org/schedule and you'll see where to tune in. On NHPTV's four channels, there's something for all of us to enjoy. Thanks to your generous support, we're able to bring entertaining and informative programs to you. Thank you. Peter Frid, NHPTV President & CEO
