 About Evening Rounds
Evening Rounds is KUAC-FM’s weekly call-in health show that features conversations with doctors, nurses and numerous experts affecting your health—from massage therapists and yoga instructors to psychologists and pharmacists. From time to time the show also takes a closer look at different aspects of the health care system, such as services for low-income patients or competition between outpatient clinics and hospitals. Host Kate Ripley interviews the guests, takes calls and provides a brief update of health news. The show airs at 6:30 Tuesday nights on KUAC.
