Marquette, MIAugust 3, 2021 – On our latest Upper Peninsula Health Plan update, we learned about Hepatitis C and it’s impacts.

UPHP Community Health Worker Susanne Wicklund spoke about the condition with Mark & Walt in the Morning this week.

Wicklund explained that it is a serious infection and is one of the major causes of liver disease, but about 50% of people who have it don’t know it.

She outlined some of the symptoms to watch for and possible treatments and also CDC recommendations for screening for adults and women who are pregnant.
