@TaylorWAnderson Same thing happened to us. We ended up getting into First Baptist (by east high) and loved it if you are still looking.

So excited for this. Even though my 11 month old got Covid this week, hopefully it can help others sooner. Only wish it had been approved a few months ago!!!

As a PA-student, and a fellow public health professional, we need to work on ways to support our patients who are part of the LGBTQ+ community. Great article written by @AustinH2O_

Check out my 🌈 #PrideMonth 🦄 blog post as part of the Caregiving Collaboratory @KentCgCollab

Take home point: “Cancer centers have been and are currently failing LGBTQ+ patients and their caregivers.”

If you are local to Utah, or the rocky mountain area, feel free to give @huntsmancancer a call at: 888-424-2100 and we can also help answer cancer screening questions! Love having a president who puts prevention at the forefront. #publichealth #Cancer #Utah

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Americans have missed more than 9 million cancer screenings in the last two years because of COVID-19.

If you were supposed to get a cancer screening during the pandemic, call your primary care doctor today.

SLCo friends:

The anti-maskers are inundating the city council reps to overturn the mask mandate.

Call your county council reps and speak up in support of the mandate. Info below 👇 #utpol

@frayspoil @InUtahNotOfUtah @SeanReyesUT @SpencerJCox Adding here, I got tested last Friday (along with my Husband and Daughter) and we still haven't gotten our results yet. Rapid's were negative, but still...

[Allison Elmer (she/her) @allisonelmercph]

For all the Utah fans going to the #rosebowl please wear a kn95 or medical grade mask, and get tested after before you see others.

[Allison Elmer (she/her) @allisonelmercph]

I write this mainly to say: this variant is getting everyone. And while I don’t think this is our first exposure, it’s the first one we’ve known about. Please get tested so your loved ones can take the right precautions and #slowthespread

[Allison Elmer (she/her) @allisonelmercph]

Two years into this pandemic, and we had our first known exposure on Christmas. Grateful for vaccinations, and grateful for friends who go and get tested even though they are fully vaccinated and boosted so we can take the appropriate precautions. #covidvariant

Love this from @JohnsHopkinsSPH

@MelissaZappa @shelleywhitemsw @huntsmancancer @uofunursing WAHOO!!!!! This is HUGE! Congratulations @shelleywhitemsw

COVID vaccines are working well to prevent severe illness, hospitalization, and death, even against the Delta variant. However, public health experts are starting to see reduced protection.

[Intermountain Childrens Health @primarychildren]

Primary Children’s Hospital has created an extended flu shot clinic especially for our patients and their families.

[Allison Elmer (she/her) @allisonelmercph]

Now if only the theme parks would also do this, Utah would reach 70% fully vaccinated in no time.

[KSL 5 TV @KSL5TV]

Disney Cruise Line announced that all passengers ages 5 and up must be vaccinated against COVID-19 beginning in January, expanding its mandate to cover children who are now eligible for inoculation in the U.S.

Last night I tried to sub the proposed congressional map with the Orange map from the @UtahRedistrict Commission. The motion failed on party lines. Then Gov Cox advises that if you don’t like it, elect different people. Here’s the Utah experience:

Great Q&A: “It is important to note that the risk of getting myocarditis from the vaccine is extremely low,” says Dr. Giuliano. “Children are more likely to get myocarditis from a COVID-19 infection than from the vaccine.”
