dtap immunization for adults :: Article Creator Disease Known To Hospitalize Children Is Continuing To Spread In Michigan More than half of infants who contract pertussis, known as whooping cough, require hospitalization. Once their condition has deteriorated enough to require medical care, there isn't much physicians can do to treat them or speed up recovery. Instead, they offer supportive care, limit spread, and wait for the disease to run its course, said Dr. Francis Darr, a pediatrician in Marquette. "The key, again, is not so much treatment as it is prevention and avoiding infection in the first place," Darr said. Michigan is seeing its highest number of pertussis infections in a decade. As of Dec. 8, the state health department reported more than 1,500 cases, which is more than twice as much as the 596-case average from 2017 through 2019. Public health leaders are urging families to ensure they're up to da...

medicare preventive :: Article Creator Medicare Part B: Coverage, Costs And Frequently Asked Questions If a person enrolls in Original Medicare, the government covers 80% of their Part B expenses after they meet their annual deductible, which is $226 in 2023. Medicare beneficiaries can purchase a separate supplemental Medigap policy from a private health insurance provider to help cover the remaining 20%. If an individual decides to enroll in a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan instead, that plan covers the bulk of Medicare Part B expenses. However, the beneficiary typically must pay copays and coinsurance costs out of pocket. Furthermore, Medicare Advantage beneficiaries aren't allowed to have a Medigap policy. Monthly Medicare Part B premiums can be a surprising and costly retirement expense for many people. The minimum monthly Medicare Part B premium in 2023 is $164.90 per person, and they only go higher, depending on your income. The Medi...

memorial hermann primary care :: Article Creator Inside Memorial Hermann's New Menopause Care Partnership With Midi Health Even though more than a million women across the U.S. Undergo menopause each year, most doctors weren't trained on how to address questions related to this natural transition in life or treat complications arising from it. In an effort to give its patients access to providers who can help them navigate the menopause journey, Memorial Hermann Health System in Houston struck a new partnership with Midi Health on Wednesday. Palo Alto-based Midi, which was founded in 2021, is a virtual care clinic focused exclusively on women who are navigating their midlife hormonal transition. Under the partnership, Memorial Hermann patients can access Midi's services directly through the company's platform or by getting a referral from a Memorial Hermann-affiliated physician.
