Addressing the Quiet Spread of Hepatitis C in the U.S.

Within the United States, Hepatitis C is often referred to as a hidden epidemic. This liver-affecting virus may impact as many as 4 million people nationwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Dr. Céline Gounder sheds light on these developments, highlighting how this particular clinic's proactive approach offers hope and potentially sets a precedent for other regions.
