Congratulations to the Class of 2020!!! And a special congrats to all Public Health/Health Sciences students out there.

“‘When you hear stories of suffering, you have an obligation to act. When incorrect stories are told to rationalize morally unjust decisions, you have an obligation to correct the narrative. When the stories of those in our society who are most at risk are silenced, you have an obligation to elevate those stories using the access to institutions and platforms that your privilege grants you,’ he added.” -Dr. Fred Pestello, PhD

-New hepatitis C cases are 4 times as high as they were 10 years ago.

May is Hepatitis Awareness Month!! Hepatitis C virus usually spread when someone encounters blood from an infected person (i.e. sharing needles, syringes, or any other equipment to inject drugs).

New infections have been on the rise, among young adults, which match the recent increase in injection drug use related to the opioid crisis in the U.S.

People with Hepatitis C often show no symptoms, so testing is the only way to know if you are infected.

Treatments are available that can cure hepatitis C, most can be cured in just 8-12 weeks, reducing liver cancer by 75%.
