At SRHD, nurses work in many different programs, and we would like to thank every one of them for their dedication to public health. They are tracking diseases, managing chronic illnesses, monitoring safety in congregate living facilities, and so many other duties. Our nurses may have saved your life or a loved one’s life today without you knowing it!
You might wonder, “Why does it matter if my kids aren’t vaccinated, as long as yours are?” It’s a good question. It’s important to ask questions about your child’s health—and to ask trusted sources. Pediatricians are trained to give safe medical advice and are happy to answer your questions. They can also help you understand what’s best for your child’s health.
Public health isn’t just about policies and programs—it’s about the people behind them. The team at SRHD doesn’t just work in Spokane; they live here too. They’re your neighbors, friends, and family members, all working together to make Spokane a healthier place for everyone. Throughout the week, we will be sharing stories and insights across social media to highlight how the people in our programs improve community well-being.
Measles is a virus that spreads easily and can make people very sick, especially babies and young children. It is more than just a rash—it can cause serious health problems like lung infections, brain swelling, and even death.
