Walk - ins are welcome but appointments are encouraged and will be taken first, except in the case of an emergency.

Flu Health Advisory

Please remember to continue to use good hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette to help prevent the spread of the flu (seasonal or H1N1).

Wash hands frequently with soap and water or use an alcohol-based hand cleaner when soap and water are not available.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, or cough/sneeze into your elbow if a tissue is not available. Wash your hands afterwards.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Avoid close contact (i.e.: being within 6 feet) with persons with influenza-like illness (ILI).
Get vaccinated.
If you are sick with influenza-like illness (ILI) (fever plus at least cough or sore throat and possibly other symptoms like runny nose, body aches, headaches, chills, fatigue, vomiting and diarrhea) you should stay at home and keep away from others as much as possible, including avoiding travel, for at least 24 hours after fever is gone except to get medical care for other necessities. (Fever should be gone without the use of fever-reducing medications.)
