What’s NEW for February 2010

Radio

We (Marjorie and Mark Palek) just found out about a local radio series that might be of interest to you and yours.  It is a radio program series about Parkinson’s disease.  It is a local broadcast that airs on Thin Air Community Radio, at 92.3FM and 89.9FM (more details/times below).  Their website is:  http://www.kyrs.org/

Here is the station’s blurb (in bold):

Join Dr. Kim on Thursday, January 28th at noon as she begins a series on Parkinson’s disease. On the first show Dr. Kim will discuss the epidemiology and registry of this devastating disease, and on February 11th she will cover the pharmacology and treatment, including stem cell transplants. Then on March 11th she will cover the patient’s perspective. Thanks to Northwest Neurological for a grant to produce this series.

“Dr. Kim Talks” is Spokane’s locally produced public health radio program. The show airs the second and fourth Thursday at noon, and repeats the following Wednesday at 6AM. Produced and hosted by Dr. Kim Thorburn, the bi-weekly commentary and interview program covers public health issues, locally and globally.
