The programs present local experts to discuss the latest health news such as healthcare reform (ObamaCare) and other timely topics to help give viewers a clear understanding of the issues. Viewers meet our doctors and learn about the comprehensive services we offer at our hospital,” says White Memorial Medical Center’s President and CEO, Beth Zachary.
