Pregnancy and Child Health 7 years agoThe “fourth trimester” is defined as the first three months after the baby is born. Typically, most patients receive one, sometimes two, post-partum visits after their baby is born. This can lead to a discontinuity in care for post-partum patients. Recently, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists have reviewed the typical “one…[Read more]

I think this is a great new initiative. I applaud the comprehensive, yet individualized approach they recommend. I doubt that physicians alone will be able to supply this higher level of care for the “4th trimester”, but I envision many of these services would be suitable for the whole health care team to participate in. This would include nurses,…[Read more]

Diseases Spread by Humans, Animals and Insects 7 years, 2 months agoI understand the EColi from the romaine lettuce contamination was traced to a farm in Santa Barbara county California. It’s very curious how their contaminated irrigation water source (used for all the crops) only resulted in contamination of the romaine, but not other types of lettuce.

Hepatitis C can be cured. Get tested. Get treated. 7 years, 2 months agoHepatitis C is curable and treatment is available locally. One year ago, in December, the Johns Hopkins Viral Hepatitis Center office opened an office in Cumberland to provide hepatitis C treatment and care! We are located on the first floor of the Allegany County Health Department.
