While COVID-19 ravaged the country, the United States has also been experiencing a number disease outbreaks that we don't normally see, like Dengue Fever, Monkeypox, Measles, Malaria and even polio. Why are we seeing these diseases now? And what can we do about them?

Dr. David Pate, former CEO of St. Luke's Health System, joined Idaho Matters to help answer these questions.

As Senior Producer of our live daily talk show Idaho Matters, I’m able to indulge my love of storytelling and share all kinds of information (I was probably a Town Crier in a past life!). My career has allowed me to learn something new everyday and to share that knowledge with all my friends on the radio.
