  • Episode 204: Separating Perimenopause Fact from Fiction with Heather Moline, M.D.
    Millions of women are turning to social media for answers about perimenopause and menopause, but how much of it holds up? Dr. Heather Moline, an OB-GYN with Rapid City Medical, joins Mark Houston to cut through the noise: what actually separates perimenopause from menopause, why two decades of fear around hormone replacement therapy were built on flawed research, and what treatment really looks like today. It's a candid, practical look at symptoms, testing, and the long-term health benefits women may have missed out on, and a clear first step for anyone wondering if this is them.

    Commercial Drivers are an essential part of South Dakota’s economy. However, when you are following a semi-truck on the interstate, or putting your kids on a school bus, you want to be rest assured that the operator won’t suffer a sudden, preventable medical emergency.

    In this replay of Doc Talk with Monument Health, host Mark Houston sits down with Dr. Deanna Lassegard, an emergency medicine physician at Monument Health in Spearfish, to talk about what really happens in the ER around the Fourth of July.

    “When you have an emergency, nothing’s fast enough.” The goal of Rapid City Hospital Emergency Services is to see each patient as fast as possible. As Brook Eide, M.D., Medical Director of Emergency Services, explains in this episode of listener questions, the new Mall Drive Emergency location, open on June 10, will help Rapid City area patients by giving them another emergency room supported by Rapid City Hospital in a convenient location — particularly for patients living east of the city.
