The Catholic Medical Association is proud to announce its new television show, Vital Signs, which premiered on Shalom World on June 18, 2021.
The faith-based medical show is hosted by CMA Board Member and Micrographic Dermatologic Surgeon, Dr. Thomas McGovern. Dr. McGovern, along with CMA member guests, provide expert insight for the every-day viewer through conversational episodes which cover a range of relevant topics from depression to contraception.
“Moving into the realm of television is a dream come true for the Catholic Medical Association! For our first television series, we chose the name Vital Signs because there is so much vital information regarding health that is hard for many to find among the extensive information available on the internet,” said Dr. McGovern.
Dr. McGovern, along with this season’s eight CMA guest experts (three psychiatrists, two pediatricians, two internal medicine sub-specialists, and one obstetrician) generously gave of their time to record 16 episodes full of useful information.
“Vital Signs is another manifestation of our being a content leader in healthcare. The show highlights the demand Catholics have to understand authentically Catholic healthcare so they can advocate for it with their physicians and healthcare professionals,” said Dr. Michael Parker, CMA President. “We are eager to see how Vital Signs will advance the transformation of healthcare so that patients are treated body, mind and spirit.”
In the season’s first episode, Dr. McGovern was joined by Dr. Chris Stroud to uncover the truth about contraception for women and families. The episode can be at this link: https://www.shalomworld.org/watchlive
“Our tag line, ‘Your prescription for a healthy family,’ emphasizes that our CMA guest experts share pearls of wisdom that will particularly help families with children at home to achieve healthier lifestyles in harmony with the wisdom of the Catholic Church,” said Dr. McGovern.
