Traveler's Health

The "trip of a lifetime" can become a nightmare when illness strikes during a journey to a remote part of the world. Add in uncertainty over Avian Flu and lesser-known but more deadly diseases and the need for advance planning and preparation becomes urgent. What steps can world travelers take to reduce chances of serious illness? What should a traveler’s first aid kit look like and when should you make the investment in medical evacuation insurance?

Host Steve Becker and a panel of experts will explore these questions and answer your questions, too, 'live' on the air.

Guest Panelists:

Samuel D. Palpant, MD

Sacred Heart Medical Center

Julie Graham

Spokane Regional Health District

Public Health Information Manager

Lori Meyers, RN

Lori Costello, MD
