Kathy Andrews hosts Health Talk Show "Health Matters"

September 4, 2015 A new radio talk show "Health Matters," premieres  Wednesday, September 9th at 7:30pm on WSSB 90.3 FM (NPR affiliate) in Orangeburg, SC. features guests ranging from top physicians, legislators, medical authorities, and more.

The show will delve into health issues like heart disease, diabetes, teenage pregnancy, veterans health, stroke, nutrition, telemedicine, and more.

"We're going to tackle some tough health issues facing South Carolinians," said host Kathy Andrews, a veteran  journalist and former host/producer at Black Entertainment Television. "My plan is to engage the audience with a different kind of health program; it will be informative and solutions driven," said Andrews.

The premiere show features Senator John W. Mathews, Jr., and representative Gilda Cobb-Hunter discussing Medicaid and the late
Senator Clementa C. Pinckney who was assassinated in a mass shooting at Mother Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston on June 17, 2015. Senator  Pinckney was a staunch supporter of Medicaid expansion. However, Governor Nikki Haley has been firmly opposed to the Affordable Health Care Act even though some states, even those run by Republican governors, have changed their views and accepted Medicaid expansion.
