    • Expanding Access to STD Testing Through a Walk-In Testing Program

    The Florida Department of Health in Sarasota County developed the STD HIV/AIDS Intervention Program (SHIP) walk-in testing program in order to ensure clients who are symptomatic or have been exposed to an STD receive testing and treatment. Quickly diagnosing and treating STDs and HIV/AIDS is good for the client, their partner, and the community.

    The Value of a Brand, Part 1

    Ask most people what a brand is and you will get some variation of this answer: a brand is the name of a company or product. Suppose someone asked you to describe the characteristics of a car. In essence, all cars are the same, so you would likely say a car has four wheels, an engine, brakes, and a transmission and has one essential function: to transport you from one place to another.

    Providing Medical Care at Large Public Events

    Volunteers from the Lewis County MRC and Providence Health & Services provided services to 503 riders, including 135 who required hands-on patient care, at the mid-route medical aid station in Centralia, Washington for 10,000 bicyclists riding in the 2015 Seattle-to-Portland Bicycle Classic.

    Tracking Flu in a Large Urban Area…A Complicated Matter

    Tracking flu is no easy task, especially in Harris County, Texas; millions of residents, dozens of acute care hospitals, countless physicians’ offices, and collaboration with many public health partners. Adding to this complexity, only pediatric fatal flu cases and novel influenza are notifiable in Texas. Our solution, approach schools for voluntary reporting. The result, priceless!
