As a sepsis survivor, when should you be concerned about infection?

If you are a sepsis survivor who has an infection that isn’t getting better, or it’s getting worse, act fast.

Get medical care immediately and ask, “Could this infection be leading to sepsis?” and if you should go to the emergency room. Fast recognition and treatment can be life saving.

❄️ The cold temperatures continue in Ohio! Stay safe and prepared. Our friends at Ohio State Highway Patrol, Ohio Department of Health, Ohio Department of Aging and Ohio State Fire Marshal offer some great tips below!

✔️ If you must drive, check your tires, battery and pack a winter kit (blankets, food, water, charger, ice scraper, flashlight).
✔️ Check on older friends, relatives and neighbors.
✔️ Prevent falls: wear boots with traction and keep walkways clear.
✔️Heat safely: keep space heaters 3 feet from anything flammable, never leave them unattended, and test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
✔️ Know the signs of hypothermia, frostbite and heart attack. Seek help immediately if symptoms appear.
✔️ For roadside assistance: call #677 or 911.

you can still protect yourself against HPV and related cancers, even if you missed or didn't finish the vaccine series earlier?
If you're 26 or younger, talk with your healthcare provider to make sure you're fully vaccinated. Certain adults aged 27-45 may benefit from the vaccine as well. It's the best way to prevent HPV-related cancer later in life.
