If you plan to spend more time outdoors this summer, please be aware of ticks. These parasites are known to carry Lyme disease, particularly in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic and upper Midwest areas. Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia mayonii (found only in the upper Midwest).

Summer break is here! While summer is a busy time for families to travel and do the activities they enjoy, it’s also the perfect time to schedule a check-up and ensure your child’s immunizations are up-to-date before school resumes in the fall. Booking early can ensure a convenient appointment with your child’s provider.
