Right to Try: Rep. Brian Cole and Steven Kesselring

We are joined in the studio by NH State Representatives Kesselring and Cole to discuss access to medical treatment in New Hampshire. New Hampshire is moving legislation through the legislative process, often referred to as “right to try.”

  • HB 1735 – Expansion of Eligibility
  • HB 1734 – Experimental Treatment Centers
