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...

advanced primary care of the ozarks :: Article Creator Integrating Rx With Advanced Primary Care Will Unlock Better Health America's healthcare industry has been squeezed tightly over the past few years with post-pandemic fallout, a declining economy and high consumer expectations. Retail pharmacies are no exception, and it's clear that the traditional pharmacy model is in crisis. With rising costs for medications and supplies and changing consumer retail habits, this doesn't bode well for the brick-and-mortar community pharmacy. Simply put: the traditional pharmacy model is unsustainable. We will soon see a rash of closing retail pharmacies and consumers scrambling to fill needed prescriptions affordably. You might be asking yourself why this should matter to you as HR and benefit professionals. I serve as chief human resources officer for a company that works with many large employers concerned about healthcare costs and the de...

humana dental preventive plus ppo :: Article Creator The Best Dental Insurance With No Waiting Period Waiting periods for dental insurance can vary drastically from provider to plan but one thing is for certain, finding an insurance provider that offers no-waiting periods or short waiting periods before you can use your insurance plan can be the difference between paying less than $100 out of pocket for treatments vs thousands. Waiting periods for dental insurance for preventative care are often non-existent but for larger treatments can range from 6 months to 1 year. We scored top dental insurance companies and plans and found that Humana came out on top for most access to benefits in short periods. Key takeaways: Just because you sign up for dental insurance doesn't mean your care is covered right away. In fact, most plans have a required waiting period before certain coverage kicks in. Waiting periods typically (but not always) apply...
