Winter should be coming to a close soon and seasonal sports like skiing, snowmobiling, and ice fishing are all but done. Weather fluctuations eat away at the snow and the ice on standing bodies of water is thinning a bit each day.

Measles Outbreak Can Still Happen
Measles is a viral illness that has all but been eradicated in the US thanks to an effective immunization program. Measles has become a news topic recently because of a recent outbreak linked to Disneyland in California. As of January 30th, there had been 102 cases reported this year in the US from this outbreak with no deaths. In Wisconsin there had been no cases. Measles remains a concern because it is still prevalent in other countries and is responsible for many deaths in other parts of the world.

Knowing Your Numbers Key to Good Health
When meeting a patient for the first time, I can tell a lot about them by just looking at their numbers. You’re probably thinking “What numbers – maybe their height and weight?” Yes, those play a role, but instead I’m thinking more about their blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose levels. Those numbers are full of information not just about their health history, but their future health, too.
