Welcome to Bridging the Gap, presented by Orange Partnership and airing on 97.9 The Hill and Chapelboro.com!

This month, enjoy a conversation with Dr. Melissa Cox, Assistant Professor at UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, and Geneva Bell, a Senior at Cedar Ridge High School.

February is National Cancer Prevention Month, and a good time to review to a recent advisory from the Surgeon General regarding the link between moderate alcohol usage and seven different types of cancer.

Listen to the full conversation between 97.9 The Hill’s Brighton McConnell, Dr. Melissa Cox, and Geneva Collins as they discuss what we should understand from the advisory, how adult behaviors influence young people around them, and lifestyle choices that can help prevent alcohol related cancer and death.

 


Bridging the Gap, presented by Orange Partnership, showcases a new conversation on the first Friday of each month airing on 97.9 The Hill, with the full series posted on Chapelboro. Meet local partners working together to close the communication gap between parents and their children and help all young people in our community live healthy and productive lives through awareness, compassion, consideration and positive action!
