]]> Whether it’s been a close friend, a relative, or just an acquaintance, it never settles quite right knowing that a disease we’ve been aware of for so long is still affecting so many. That feeling of ‘at this point, we should be able to do better’ has been constantly on my mind over the past four years of studying public health.
