UK College of Medicine

Because Medicare does not routinely cover hearing aids and Medicaid coverage can leave high out-of-pocket costs, many patients are unable to move forward with recommended treatment. Third year UK med student Evan Smith helped organize a 5K race to offset some of those costs. Dr. Greg talks with Evan about the third annual event and how you can participate.
