This time of year can be especially tough on families with little ones - holidays bringing lots of new faces together, colds and flu running through classrooms. With immature immune systems, fall and winter can bring many new illnesses for a small child to battle. One illness in particularly on parents' radar is RSV.
Veterans are one of our most vulnerable populations considering many veteran-specific health care facilities are quite a distance out of the county. The Knox County Community Health Center family of locations are here to help bridge that gab and make health care services more conveniently located and extremely affordable thanks to our foundation of federal funding.
Here at the Health Center, we have a special patriotic pride - we have four staff members that are veterans or currently serving our nation in the armed forces.
American Diabetes Month brings to light this disease and what we need to know about it. Many people live with diabetes, many people go undiagnosed and many more get diagnosed every day.
