Our Daily Show! With CJ: OSF, Stridin & Survivin, and More!

Start your morning with important health insight, community impact, and your daily dose of local news from across the Riverbend.

At 9:20 AM, February is Heart Health Month, and OSF Saint Anthony’s Health Center joins us to talk about what heart care looks like right here in our community. We’ll discuss new cardiology specialists, expanded services through their SSM Health affiliation, and a simple 10-minute CT Cardiac Calcium Score test that can help detect early signs of heart disease before symptoms appear. We’ll also touch on how OSF is raising awareness through the 2026 Metro St. Louis Heart Walk and why proactive screening can make a life-saving difference. If you’ve been putting off thinking about your heart health, this is the conversation to hear.

At 9:40 AM, we’re joined by Alice Bartles from Stridin and Survivin to preview their upcoming fundraiser and explain how the community can get involved. We’ll talk about the mission behind Stridin and Survivin, how the funds directly support local individuals and families, and the ways residents can show up, donate, or spread the word. It’s a powerful example of neighbors helping neighbors through awareness, action, and community-driven support.

Then in the 10:00 hour, we shift to your Daily Dose of Local News — breaking down the latest headlines, community developments, upcoming events, and stories shaping conversations across the Riverbend. From civic updates to business news and everything in between, we’ll keep you informed and connected as you start your day.

A morning focused on health, hope, and what’s happening right here at home.
