It may not happen for years but we don't know, so our job as the health department is to be prepared for the worst case scenario.

Information is probably the most important thing we can do -- sharing information, communicating with citizens, businesses, health care industry -- so that everybody can think about what they need to do, what is their part in surviving a pandemic situation.

If you or your child has swelling of the cheeks with fever or aches and pains then you need to see your doctor.

We encourage people to not share eating utensils and to wash their hands frequently.

We're really excited about our grand opening celebration and our capacity to provide much needed health care services to our young people. We hope the entire community will come and share this wonderful event with us, especially young people and their parents.

one of the most tragic, costly and preventable public health problems facing this country today.
