Portland Radio: The Wolf Relieves $2.17M In Listener Medical Debt


99.5 The Wolf (KWJJ-FM), an Audacy station in Portland, helped pay off $2.17 million in local qualifying medical debt during its 6th annual “Nick and Kristen’s Medical Debt Payoff.” In partnership with the national nonprofit charity Undue Medical Debt, this campaign has raised over $18 million over the past six years, paying off full medical debt for over 10,000 people in the Pacific Northwest.

“Our listeners continue to humble us in their support of our mission to free our friends and neighbors from crippling medical debt,” said Nick and Kristen, co-hosts, Nick & Kristen in the Morning. “We personally understand the massive weight this debt can have on a family, and we are so grateful to have eliminated that burden for over 1,400 people this holiday season.”

The campaign ran from November 17 to 21. Every day, Nick and Kristen encouraged listeners to donate to alleviate the worries of struggling local families during the holiday season.

Undue Medical Debt is a charity that aims to strengthen communities by lifting the weight of strenuous medical debt.
