Health radio program now available
Editor's note: information for this article was provided by Celeste
Ryan, "Lifelines" producer.
The new edition of "Lifelines," a public service radio program, has
just been produced and is now being mailed to 1,000 public and Christian radio
stations across North America. The new CD includes 54 spots—one for every
week of the year—that are 60 seconds each, and parallel the seasons, holidays,
and officially observed dates, such as the Great American Smokeout and Diabetes
Awareness Month.
Each program offers practical tips on some aspect of health and ends by letting
listeners know that it is provided by the Seventh-day Adventist Church as a public
service.
"Our goal in producing ‘Lifelines' is to provide North Americans
with information that will help them live longer, healthier, more fulfilling
lives," says DeWitt Williams, EdD, MPH, health ministries director of the
Seventh-day Adventist
Church in North America.
"Studies show Adventists have the secret; here's a wonderful way
for us
to share our knowledge of health with the general public."
This is the fourth edition of the radio program that's jointly produced
by the communication and health ministries departments of the Seventh-day Adventist
Church in North America.
"Lifelines" is hosted by medical expert Elmar Sakala, MD, MPH, professor
of gynecology/obstetrics, School of Medicine, Loma Linda University, and named
after the most popular section in Vibrant Life magazine, which is sent free to
listeners who
inquire about the program.
"If you're looking for a weekly program to place on your community
radio
station that can be sponsored by your church, try ‘Lifelines,'" says
Kermit Netteburg, executive producer.
"The response from station managers has been very positive," Mr.
Netteburg
concludes. "In fact, their biggest request is for us to produce the program
more frequently."
