About On Call
On Call was developed by the South Dakota State University Cooperative Extension Service to provide health education to a general audience. Each week, Medical Editor Dr. Rick Holm will discuss a broad range of medical topics with guest doctors from across South Dakota. During the hour, live show, they’ll touch on new developments in medicine, current medical issues, research breakthroughs, and new treatments. But the highlight of the show is the viewer’s phone calls. Viewers can call in their questions and On Call will work with doctors to find the answers.
On Call is the only medical program endorsed by the South Dakota State Medical Association and the South Dakota Department of Health. On Call is made possible by major sponsors including Avera Health and the South Dakota Foundation for Medical Care. Other sponsors include Brookings Health System, DakotaCare, Rapid City Regional Hospital and Swiftel Communications. "On Call" airs on South Dakota Public Broadcasting-Television at 7 p.m. Central, 6 p.m. Mountain, every Thursday night
