Recent segments included information pertaining to such concerns as; the importance of a healthy breakfast, heart risk of obesity, what to do when your kid sticks something in his/her nose, falls prevention for seniors, the importance of prenatal care, and many more. With a mission of improving the health of the communities we serve through contemporary, innovative, quality healthcare solutions, we hope our Freeman Medical Focus segments give you new healthcare insights and inspire you to better health.
