Barriere Star Journal
If laughter is the best medicine, then Dr. Art Hister is the doctor to bring it to Barriere.
Hister is an expert on providing a human face to the mysteries of medical science and the health industry.
The doctor will be the keynote speaker at the Celebration of Rural Living Expo and Trade Show at the North Thompson Agriplex in Barriere on Saturday April 27, at 11 a.m.
Dr. Hister will give a one hour presentation, and will be onsite for most of the day.
Organizers say they are excited to have such a respected and sought after speaker at the Expo. And they note that the admission into the Expo and Trade Show is just $5 for adults and $3 for seniors and students, with children 12 years and under free.
There is no additional charge to hear Dr. Hister speak. He will be one of a full slate of speakers and demonstrations that will run continuously throughout the two day event.
Hister combines humour, common sense and plain language, to help make the often frightening and confusing world of medicine understandable to all, and accessible to everyone.
“I don’t talk about anything that is rocket science. I talk about healthy living, healthy lifestyles. I tell a lot of jokes which seem to work. I try to convince the audience why they should be living a healthy lifestyle, what I think they should be doing, which elements are the most important. But then we have a terrific amount of fun in the question period. They can pepper me with anything they want to ask me,” says Hister.
He also notes he has been a full time “media doctor” since 1991, has worked as a health analyst for BBC Radio in the UK, CBC Newsworld, and the Corus Radio Network, and is currently a daily health analyst for Global TV News in B.C.
