Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre Nursing Officer Patrice Hall tells us about some of the warning signs and symptoms and the treatment options.

And The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. Dwight Armbrister tells us that each month, a different department within the ministry is being highlighted. For April, it’s his ‘Religious Tourism’ Department, and a “Golden Jubilee Concert” is planned. The event will feature some of the biggest Bahamian gospel acts from throughout the country. But it will also feature Grammy Award-winning American gospel artist Hezekiah Walker. Armbrister says this massive concert is FREE. It’s set for Clifford Park, Good Friday, April 18, at 7pm.
