Have you been to the office lately? Over the last month, Justin has been preparing a joke for April 1. He put cricket sounds in the ceiling tiles and moved them just about every day. Today (since he was at a funeral yesterday), he opened the ceiling tiles and dropped a bunch of fake roaches from the ceiling in front of the nurses. After a few gasps and extra heart beats, he revealed that he has been playing the cricket sounds and moving them for the last month. Some patients knew about this joke, as well as Dr. Allen, but that was it! Stay tuned for next year’s joke!!

Get your flu shot, wash your hands, and don’t send your kids to school when they are sick. Flu is increasing in our area. Be safe!

It is with great sadness that VDH is reporting the first influenza-associated pediatric death for the 2025–26 influenza (flu) season in Virginia. A preschool-age child (0-4 years) in VDH’s Eastern Region died from complications associated with flu. To protect the family’s privacy, VDH will not provide any additional information about the child. 🔗https://ow.ly/zX5s50XXpHL

VDH recommends the following tips to prevent the :
✅Most people aged six months and older should receive an annual flu vaccine. Consult your healthcare provider as needed.
✅Wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
✅Cover coughs or sneezes with a tissue or the inside of your elbow rather than your open hand.
✅Stay at home when you feel sick.

People at increased risk for flu complications should speak with a healthcare provider when symptoms begin to see if antiviral treatment is recommended. Treatment works best when started within two days after symptoms begin. Contact a healthcare provider if symptoms become severe.

Good to know!

Doctors say that so far, kids are hit hardest with the flu. The flu shot is helping keep them out of the hospital.

Question: Why is it harder to reschedule wellness visits in the Fall and Winter months? Answer: We have to block more visit slots for sick visits, so there are fewer wellness slots from October thru April. (Pic of two young people who need to schedule their wellness visits.)
