SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – It’s something that impacts an estimated one out of every four women in the United States, yet is a struggle that many feel they face alone.
In tonight’s Avera Medical Minute, family medicine physician Kate Boos helps raise awareness of period poverty in our region.
You can learn more about period health by talking with a primary care provider or OB/GYN.
To get help or find organizations that need donations in your area, go to the 211 website and look for nonprofits in your area assisting with hygiene needs.
