A new documentary sheds light on endometriosis
Endometriosis is an often painful disease that affects an estimated 10 percent of women and girls of reproductive age globally. But despite being relatively common, it takes endometriosis patients an average of ten years to get a diagnosis—and even longer to find treatment options that work. A filmmaker shares what went into making a new documentary about endometriosis, and a medical specialist answers questions about finding endometriosis care in Wisconsin.

Best ways we can aid disaster relief efforts
In the wake of the wildfires in Maui and Hurricane Idalia, many are looking for ways to help those affected beyond the traditional “thoughts and prayers.” We talk to a disaster relief expert about what we can do as individuals to contribute to relief efforts in the aftermath of a catastrophic event, and how we can be prepared for the next one.
