One of the local physicians has a weekly call in radio program that discusses all types of health issues. It's great public health outreach, and the community really seems to enjoy it.
1I had the opportuinty to join her on the show this week, and we had a great conversation. We discussed illicit drug use--on and off the reservation--and we even managed to get a few callers. In fact, one person left a message off-air to have us call her after the show. It turned out that she's been using meth for years, and hasn't ever told anyone. She was inspired enough by the broadcast to call in to the station, and she asked that we schedule her at the clinic for her first rehab visit. That felt good.
