Check those Medications - OPC/MLREMS have been notified of concerns related to incorrect medication(s) being in the mediation distribution system.  Please double check all mediations received, as well as use this as a reminder to check the double check medications administered, as well as those that our patients have in their homes and have told us they have taken

What Address are you at? - The proper number identification on our homes and businesses will help in the event of a Emergency, as our Police, EMS and Fire Responders arrive to help.  Please set the example for the community, but insuring that your House Number is properly displayed in a contrasting color to the background in a size that is viewable from the street.  This important act might not only save your life, but might make it easier the next time you get a pizza or flowers delivered!

Retirements - The Rochester 911 center will soon be losing two (2) familiar voices to the Fire/EMS airwaves, as they retire from their positions.  Eric Rudin and Dan Zimmer have both served in Public Safety for many years and they will be missed.

Flu Season is Here - The seasonal flu virus has struck the Rochester area and is making it's presence known.  While the flu vaccines given this year was not a 100% match to the strain which is effecting our population, it still is offering a level of protection and hopefully you and your family are remaining illness free
