Season Health Update
This time of year, we’re seeing an increase in respiratory illnesses such as RSV, Mycoplasma pneumonia, and Flu A & B. These are viral infections that can last up to 2–3 weeks, and in some cases, such as walking pneumonia, a lingering cough may persist for months.

Enjoy the Winter Sun
This winter has been a little warmer than usual, and it’s the perfect time to step outside and soak up some sunshine! Spending time outdoors is not just refreshing but also great for your health.

Stay active, stay healthy, and don’t forget your sunscreen!
