Host Frank Stasio broadcasts live from the public library in Raleigh’s Cameron Village to talk about tackling the obesity challenge with Sarah Armstrong, a pediatrician and director of the Healthy Lifestyles program at Duke University; Eric Finkelstein, Senior Health Economist at RTI International; Mark Dessauer of Active Living by Design; and Parry Graham, assistant principal of Cedar Fork Elementary School in Morrisville.
