The Biden administration will end the public health emergency for the coronavirus pandemic this week.

Since early 2020, COVID-19 has played a major role in how we live our lives.

Coming up on Wellness Wednesday, we'll discuss what the end of the public health emergency means for the citizenry.

In a new report, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy says the country is experiencing an epidemic of loneliness. And he says it's an epidemic as harmful as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day.

Climate change will affect every aspect of human life, including sports.

The 2020 Australian Open stopped play due to excessive smoke from brush fires. Air pollution and the effect it can have on their performance is becoming a greater concern for athletes.
