Community Health July update
Community Health Tip – Know How to Do a Tick Check Because Tick Season is HERE!

The best way to prevent tickborne diseases is to avoid places where ticks hang out, wear an effective repellent and do a body check after being outdoors.

In Vermont, the most tickborne illnesses occur between early spring and late fall, when blacklegged ticks are active.

Protect yourself. Do a body check. Carefully remove any ticks. Watch for symptoms of tickborne illnesses and contact your Community Health provider if you develop any symptoms. Tell your provider about a recent tick bite, when it occurred, and your outdoor activities. Some tick bite illnesses can be treated with a short course of antibiotics. Most people who begin treatment early on fully recover.

For more information, call Community Health Patient Access at  802-779-9169.

Our mission is to be the foremost integrated community health center providing quality and collaborative care that is accessible to all people, in order to live their best lives and build stronger communities.
