It really is easy to understand how Hep C is spread out. So that is one thing that's kind of up-and-coming and I don't even think they even have a website yet.
Hepatitis C is wreaking havoc in Southwest Virginia, and it's time to take a closer look. In this episode of 'Dissect & Connect', Laura Kate Jennings-Brink, the Southwest Regional Hepatitis C Coordinator with the Virginia Department of Health, sheds light on the alarming rise of this disease in the region. You'll hear about the communities most at risk and the available treatment options that could turn the tide. With the opioid crisis fueling the spread, the stakes couldn't be higher.
Jennings-Brink doesn't just stop at diagnosis and treatment; she dives into prevention methods that could make a real difference. One key takeaway? The importance of community resources like HepVu and the National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable. These tools are essential for anyone looking to understand and combat Hepatitis C. Plus, you'll get recommendations for further reading and documentaries that provide even more context.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone concerned about public health, especially in areas hit hard by addiction and limited healthcare resources. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of Hepatitis C and learn how you can help mitigate its impact in your community.
