Rabies shots are mandatory in most of the U.S. but some dog owners are hesitant about giving their pets the vaccine.

Hundreds of people may have been exposed to rabies in Wyoming, Eli Lilly has a new GLP-1 pill to help people lose weight, doctors may become dependent on AI and a China company has built the world’s first “gestation robot.”

Dr. David Pate, the former CEO of St. Luke's Health System, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the latest health news.

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.
