Health Services Update

As you are traveling during this holiday season, remember you can take simple steps to keep yourself healthy. Washing your hands, covering your cough or sneeze, and wearing a mask are ways to stop the spread of infection. Also, getting your flu shot and COVID booster are both ways to provide extra protection against viruses that can make you feel really sick.  

Health Services will be closed during the winter break and will reopen on January 3, 2023. While away, TimelyCare is available to you for free anywhere in the United States. Have a safe and healthy break!
