This week, Dr. Richard Holm (aka The Prairie Doc®) and his wife Joanie shared this message with followers explaining their long-term legacy plans for The Prairie Doc®.
From The Prairie Doc® Facebook page (see original video format here).
Dr. Rick Holm: We feel privileged to have had the honor of creating a legacy of service to the Prairie Doc organization.
Joanie Holm: It has been our desire and goal to share health information that is not influenced by marketing or sales, but rather is based on science.
Dr. Rick Holm: We started in the 80s with a newspaper article, and expanded in the 90s with a radio show. In 2003, we started a TV program, and in 2010, we added our social media platforms.
Joanie Holm: This has been a team effort made possible by many volunteer physicians and experts serving as hosts and guests. All of them are Prairie Doc's.
Dr. Rick Holm: Thanks to them, we've been given the ability to pass the torch so that this legacy may continue beyond my time on this earth.
Joanie Holm: Please join me in embracing our team of Prairie Doc physicians, each committed to this mission. Family physician, Andrew Ellsworth, Deb Johnston, and Jill Kruse, along with internist Kelly Evans, all from Brookings, South Dakota.
Dr. Rick Holm: These volunteer physicians, and many others, have in the past and will in the future serve as authors of Prairie Doc newspaper columns, host of our TV and radio programs. Thank you.
Joanie Holm: Thank you.
