Last week while I was in Boise for my son's wedding, I couldn't help but notice all the new buildings in their city center and downtown area. It made me think, "Why we don't get new buildings here except for medical-related facilities or banks?"

Male pattern baldness isn't just a male problem, it impacts a lot of females too. And acne? Acne isn't just a problem for kids, adults can get it too. Especially if you spend too much time out in the sun, and if you combine it with alcohol and spicy food. Here's more with Dr. Scott Sears.

Brooke told us how the best part of her day is when parents say that the music helped put a smile on their child's face for the first time in a long time. But then she told us how she combines music with the child's very own heartbeat.

I got news for you. If you think that wearing a face mask is going to save you from COVID-19 (Coronavirus)- it won't. Plus, hear an incredible life-saving story out of Laurel, Montana by listening to our full interview with Dr. Scott Sears.

In the last year or so, women across Montana may have started getting letters urging them to get MRIs instead of mammograms when it comes to breast cancer screenings. How come? Should women be concerned?

In addition to answering questions from listeners all across Montana, Dr. Sears also talked about some big news: SCL Health, which has hospitals in Billings (St. Vincent), Miles City (Holy Rosary), and Butte (St. James) is now expanding to Bozeman and Lewistown.

I always enjoy chatting with Dr. Scott Sears from St. Vincent Healthcare in Billings on the radio. But I think this latest piece of advice may be some of his most encouraging news yet...

If you want to get a lump in your throat real fast, have someone show you the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at St. Vincent Healthcare in Billings. Now, St. Vincent Healthcare in Billings is being recognized not just for how they help babies in need, for being "Baby Friendly" all around.
