Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Matt McCleskey
Hispanics develop diseases like breast cancer at lower rates than other groups, yet they are more likely to die from these illnesses. The statistics reflect a lack of preventive care that is necessary for early diagnosis and treatment. We speak with a doctor who has made it his life’s work to educate the Latino community about the importance of regular physical exams.
Guests
- Dr. Elmer Huerta Director of the Cancer Preventorium at the Washington Cancer Institute at Washington Hospital Center
