"We want to help clear some of this up (by putting) a panel of professionals out there that are able to answers questions straightforward and honestly."

Samet says all questions are welcome. You can submit them in advance, too, at Facebook.com/HamCoHealth.

"We have our medical director, who is also the medical director at Mercy Health. We have a couple of epidemiologists, someone from Cincinnati Black Nurse Practitioners; we have someone from Santa Maria to address Hispanic issues as well as Su Casa, also. It's a good array of community participation."
