12:10: The Health Roundup with Jay McQueen.


12:13 -12:30: Chronic conditions, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, impart a major health burden in terms of economical, clinical and humanistic outcomes. As the prevalence and severity of diabetes increases with age, the “greying” of the population will likely increase the societal burden of the consequences of diabetes. This issue is one of many to emerge at the 12th Annual Canadian Diabetes Association/ Canadian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism Professional Conference in Montreal.
Guest: Dr. Jeff Johnson, Department of Public Health Sciences, University of Alberta and Institute of Health Economics.

12:35: It's that time of year that's creeping up again for us. Flu shot clinics will be opening up shortly. Over at St. Joseph’s, their clinics will open up to staff and patients first on November 3rd. We’ll talk about the reasoning behind that as well as some general flu fodder.
Guest: Ruth Stevenson, Manager of Infection Control, St. Joseph’s HealthCare Hamilton.


12:45: Rexall Pharmacy segment.
Guest: Hilton
