Fitness is not always best measured by parameters like your weight, your ability to run a 5K, or whether you can do 10 push-ups. Instead, one test of fitness is how well you can stand from a seated position. https://t.co/oCv09LNrLl #HarvardHealth

Coronavirus vaccines are free — but 9 percent of Americans say they're not getting one because they are worried about cost.

I see this a lot in my reporting: patients who don't seek care because they're become so accustomed to surprise bills that follow.
