September is National Arthritis Month
No one knows what causes arthritis, though scientists have uncovered a host of clues. Something can be done to manage most forms of arthritis, but it's very important that a correct diagnosis is established early. Most therapies work best when started early in the disease process. For more information visit the Arthritis Society of Canada’s website at www.arthritis.ca.

H1N1 and Pandemic Influenza

9/3/2009

On June 12, 2009 the World Health Organization (WHO) declared a Pandemic. We are now experiencing a worldwide outbreak with the H1N1 influenza virus. Central Health has been preparing for a pandemic since its inception in 2005.

 

The H1N1 virus is a new strain of influenza A that can be spread from person to person. The H1N1 virus continues to circulate in the central region. It is very important for citizens to follow the three C’s – Clean, Cover and Contain – to reduce the spread of the virus and to keep from getting sick.

 

For more information on H1N1 and pandemic influenza, please visit the Central Health website at www.centralhealth.nl.ca.
