Hepatitis C infection is on the rise in recent years. The growing opioid epidemic has multiplied the problem, as the primary means of spread is IV drug use.  Surprisingly only 35 percent of those infected received treatment even though excellent treatment available is for this devastating disease. Not surprisingly, drug costs are a major factor in this issue.

Join us as we discuss the issue of Hep C and what can be done about it.
