Public Television viewers who follow Andrews’ health program sing its praises, from the grandmother who has found a new love of skiing with her grandchildren, to doctors who applaud the care and compassion Andrews has put into her work. Co-hosting with Suzanne Andrews was Dr. Mache Seibel who served on the Harvard Medical School faculty nearly two decades before assuming his current position as a Professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Seibel has won numerous awards for research, writing, music and patient education. His clear and concise summaries and analysis of complex issues have made him a consistent figure in both print and broadcast media, and a sought after consultant. In 2008 the University of Texas Medical Branch recognized him with an Ashbel Smith Distinguished Alumnus Award, the Medical School's highest honor. Dr. Seibel is also a founder of HealthRock, ® http://www.mseibelmd.com/
