The "Dr. Sam Show" is a lively call-in program currently heard five days a week
in the morning on KFNX-AM in Phoenix. During the hour-long program, Dr.
Benjamin addresses a variety of health topics ranging from dietary supplements
and herbal remedies to the latest medical research and current health issues.
While Dr. Benjamin does not give medical advice to radio listeners, he does
provide general information to them on how to understand the health care system
and use it effectively.
"Guidance when you need it most is more than a motto for Dr. Benjamin. He
embodies that philosophy during his radio show and in the information he shares
with his listeners," said Debbie Smith, president of Humana's Kansas/Missouri
market. "We're very excited that consumers in the Kansas City area have the
opportunity to hear him and become better informed, better educated about their
health care."

knowledge of the health care industry, and his engaging style draws in
listeners to his show," said Neil Larrimore, Program Director at KMBZ-AM.

Healthcare West -- a mainstream CAM clinical site. Dr. Benjamin serves on the
