She shares her research and experience in her new book, Maybe It's Your Medications, an eye-opening guide to empowering patients to know more about their drugs.  Brought to you by <a href="https://nextvillagesf.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NEXTVillageSF.org</a> NEXT Village SF is a neighborhood nonprofit providing services and support that empowers members to live independently.
