How General People are Staying Healthy?
Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy. I’m your pharmacist, Paul White. We’re glad you joined us. Before we begin, I’d like to thank our sponsors, Aultman Health System, Studio Arts & Glass, and Jenior Appraisals and Liquidations. Today Brad and I are broadcasting from our administrative offices and our guest is James M. Adams, The Health Commissioner for Canton City Public Health.
If you have been watching or listening to the news lately, concerns of a “tripledemic” have been frequent headlines. There’s no scientific definition for this term; it simply refers to a collision of RSV, influenza, and COVID-19 to the extent that it might overwhelm hospital emergency departments. Listening to customers visiting our pharmacies there clearly is a high level of illness of all varieties in our communities. Today we will talk with Jim Adams about current illness levels in our communities, vaccines, preventative measures, and in general, staying healthy!
We’d like to remind our listeners that today’s program is also available on our podcast which can be downloaded from the app store on your mobile phone. Look for Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy and you can listen to any of our programs, anytime.
