Elliot Yamin (from American Idol - yes that Elliot!) will talk with me about his new role as Ambassador to Inspired by Diabetes, since this is National Diabetes Month. Elliot has diabetes and he talks about the good and bad ways it has affected his life and what you need to know if you have it. Also there is a wonderful contest at Inspired by Diabetes (www.inspiredbydiabetes.com) that I urge you to particpate in if you, or anyone in your family, has had this disease. It will save many children around the world in countries where they don’t have the same access to medicine as we do here. Go to the website and read about all they do to combat this and download info about the contest, and what you can do to help.

Also joining me today on this health day, will be Dr. Phyllis Dennery from The Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia to talk about preemies and RSV, an important subject. And later in the hour stay with us to learn what you really need to know about comphrehensive vision care when Dr. Andrea Thau from InfantSEE (www.infantsee.org) joins me talk about how important this is for children as young as six months, and that eye checkups at school and the pediatricians office are just not enough for our children.

Listen in today for health tips for you and your family so you can be informed to Make Good Choices!
