A Healthy Conversation
Each week on A Healthy Conversation, hosts Dr. Jeff Barkin and Dr. Lisa Belisle engage national leaders and local experts from the clinical, business, scientific, academic, and political communities about the issues that impact us all. Topics on the show cover everything from emerging technologies and policy work, to personal and/or public health, to educational and environmental issues. Show guests have included representatives from the CDC and medical companies, educators and innovators, as well as local business leaders, retailers, and government officials. An honest and upbeat dialogue about today’s realities and tomorrow’s developing opportunities, each show showcases the thinkers and explores the thinking that will help us change the conversation.
