Super Bowl Ad Draws Controversy |
We’ve seen controversial Super Bowl ads before. Usually, they’re flagged for sexual or political content, but one of this year’s ads is drawing fire (including from lawmakers) for a different reason—leaving out side effect information. On Sunday, the telehealth company Hims & Hers ran an ad promoting compounded versions of the obesity drug semaglutide while criticizing the profit motives of the pharmaceutical industry, which is required to list the drug side effects that Hims & Hers left out.

Inadequate access to health care—especially mental health care—can make the process of re-integrating into society more difficult, even with the programs that exist to help. But a new federal law aims to improve the re-entry experience for released juvenile inmates. Check out the details.

Some hospitals even have fast-food restaurants! But all hospitals could make
improvements. What are the food options like where you work?
