Micky Salatino’s position as program director at The Heart of Ida, a nonprofit whose aim is to inspire independence in older adults in Long Beach, made her a natural to be a producer of a television show. Or so the organization’s executive director bet on.
“Dina said, produce, and I’ve never produced anything!” Salatino said. “At first, I said, uuhhh, wut? Then, I said, why not it’ll help me grow and learn.”
What emerged from the challenge was “Seamus and Friends,” a pet-centered segment of AgeWell TV. AgeWell TV’s programming is funded through a partnership with Long Beach Community Action Partnership and broadcast on its television service, PADNET.
