(Richmond, IN)--Back in 2022, Wayne County had the highest per-capita rate of hepatitis C in all of Indiana.  When the Wayne County Health Board met Tuesday, Beth Newton from the Health Department had an update on two different issues.  "We're seeing a lot of gonorrhea and chlamydia being passed around.  Individuals will come in and send in their partners, who are also testing positive and had multiple partners," Newton said.  In the most recent numbers from the state, Wayne County’s gonorrhea rate was 50% higher than the national average.
