We are so excited to debut our Blog and welcome Hannah Helgeson as our Writing and Research Assistant!
As I move through the world, I've noticed that in everyday encounters - in the bathroom, talking with vendors, on the airplane, etc - everyone I speak with tells me either their own story with urinary tract infections (UTIs) or that of a family member or friend who has experienced UTIs. Often these stories are filled with emotional experiences as they've had to navigate UTIs in silence and with little healthcare.
We aim to break that silence and talk UTI! It is time to widely recognize and take seriously that UTIs account for 25% of the world's infections causing unspeakable suffering physically, mentally, emotionally and financially.
