find themselves
grappling with a growing list of
health concerns. Hheadlines
about Bioterrorism, influenza, SARS,
the West Nile virus and monkeypox,
have left many of us trying to filter
fact from fiction when it comes to
matters of personal health and well
being. In an effort to address these
and other relevant health issues,
WFYI Public Radio 90.1 FM HD1 and Indiana’s
NPR affiliates presented Public
Health in the Headlines.
The program, which is produced
in partnership with the Indiana State
Department of Health, is the first
in a series statewide public radio
and television broadcasts about emerging
health issues.
The first installment featured Bob
Zaltsberg,
editor of the Herald–Times
in Bloomington, serving as host
and moderator of the program. Also
featured were Indiana State Health
Commissioner Greg
Wilson, M.D., state
epidemiologist Robert Teclaw,
D.V.M., Ph. D., and assistant

and policy and Indiana bioterrorism
expert Joe Hunt, M.P.H.
