Forty Wilmington-area physicians participated in the 2011 WWAY-TV Health Hotline, 12:00 pm – 8:00 pm, on January 25, 2011 at Independence Mall in Wilmington, NC. 536 viewers took advantage of the opportunity to talk with a physician at no charge. 71% of the callers were women in the 40 to 74 age range. The NCMS, New Hanover-Pender County Medical Society and WWAY-TV co-sponsored the annual event, which began in the early 1990s.
