Health Matters, Television for LIfe

This series focuses on health topics of great importance to our viewers and specific populations in our service region.

Watch Health Matters online

This initiative includes special programs, workshops, materials and dialogues centered on health issues affecting people throughout our viewing area. We look at the growing movement to improve the quality of life through better medical care and health alternatives.

Once a month KSPS-TV produces a live call-in program addressing a specific illness and/or health concern, featuring local panelists (i.e. physicians, patients, caregivers) who will share their experiences and expertise.

We thank Providence Health Care for providing production funding for Health Matters.

The Battle Within: Autoimmune Disease

Arthritis, Lupus and MS are some of the autoimmune diseases you hear the most about; but there are nearly 80 more. These diseases are chronic and can be life-threatening. What causes the body's immune system to confuse healthy tissues with harmful antigens? Discover the latest research on diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune diseases affecting 25 million Americans.

In addition, local experts will field viewer calls and emailed questions 'live' on the air.

You may email your question now to healthmatters@ksps.org
