An Update Regarding Seasonal Illnesses

To help prevent the spread of seasonal respiratory illnesses, we strongly encourage all visitors to wear a mask while in ambulatory clinics or inpatient units. Surgical masks are available at hospital and clinic entrances. Patients with respiratory illnesses should also wear masks. Thank you for helping protect our patients, staff, and community.

After a concussion (a mild traumatic brain injury), some people have symptoms that last longer than expected. While most concussion symptoms go away within three months, they can sometimes last for a year or more.

These symptoms may include:

  • Dizziness
  • Headaches
  • Memory loss
  • Problems with concentration
  • Irritability or bad mood
  • Fatigue
  • Sleep issues
  • Blurry vision
  • Sensitivity to noise or light
