For the 9th year in a row, we are asking people to be a part of Tom Joyner's Take a Loved One to the Doctor Day. However this year, we are extending one day into an entire six-month season, which means that no one will have an excuse to miss an appointment!
Official Monthly Health Observances Calendar:
Not only will we work to super serve our sponsors, but also concentrate on a targeted effort to educate our audience re. issues that primarily impact and matter to them. This will be done by working with health-related nonprofit organizations who have never been sponsors and whose causes align with our campaign timeline. We will aim to help create quality content. Following the launch of the season, Health Partners of the Month may be highlighted in conjunction with Official 2010 Monthly Health Observances Calendar dates from April-October for seven months.
