Americans are living longer or shorter depending on where they live. A new study reveals that life expectancy varies by as much as 20 years across U.S. counties. This gap reflects the unequal access to health care, education, and economic opportunities in different regions.

Many plans to support with but important to offer a highly effective intervention to support staff who smoke. We know 60% of smokers report wanting to quit but don’t know how or don’t believe they can

This is a really interesting series on BBC Sounds about life changing medical diagnoses. This one about endometriosis, in particular though, had me absolutely RAGING. I know from personal experience how hit and miss women’s healthcare can be but I never fail to be shocked by the stories of other women’s experiences. It’s not good enough.

A very interesting article about the life expectancy in NZ as it relates to wealth.
