“I didn’t know that about the colon.”

Freddy Cruz Podcast • April 16, 2024

It’s not every day that you have a guest say the words, “I didn’t know that about the colon.”
But here we are. Today, I’m talking with Paige Burgess with The Health Museum, whose focus is nurturing curiosity about health, medical science, and the human body. The Health Museum is the only Smithsonian Affiliate Museum in the Houston Museum District. 
Today you’ll hear about what the museum has to offer, including the Drugs and Consequence exhibit and the month-long tribute to Donate Life Month. You’ll hear personal stories, and you’ll find out how to get involved.
