The radio healthcare program is intended to help consumers become informed about their individual medical problems through interactive educational programs. Physician guests answer caller questions and provide practical, ready-to-use information on a wide variety of topics, the program’s website says. “Participation empowers families to better partner with their doctors.”

Listeners can call in before the show, from 12:30 to 1 p.m. to have their case discussed, or call in during the show to ask a question or comment. Listen to live broadcasts online, or check out previous podcasts, at www.focusonfemales.com/radio.php
