Earlier this year, KSDK NewsChannel 5 produced a prime time special as part of the health initiative with the Regional Health Commission. The program featured on-air interviews with Dr. Tiffany Anderson (Superintendent of Jennings School District) and Dr. Heidi Miller (physician at Family Care Health Centers), as well as pre-produced Alive and Well STL news segments, which have aired at various times since August 2015. It was hosted by KSDK anchors Nichole Berlie and Art Holliday.
