Episode Description

Health Matters on Midday, where we dig into health topics you might be curious about. 

While our air quality is looking better today, we will be heading back into unhealthy territory in the next few days. And with little to no moisture on the horizon, that unhealthy air could continue throughout the rest of winter. What can we do to protect ourselves and our children both inside and outside our homes? On this episode of Health Matters on Midday, Dr. Richard Ferguson, President-Black Physicians of Utah joins me to talk about both the short and long term effects of pollution and what steps we can take to stay healthy.
