Get ready for the first genuinely chilly weather of the season... a Sparkly-Surfaces Advisory is in effect for tomorrow morning as temps dip down to the lower 30s. Highs in the 50s... but they won't last. Mother Nature has 70s and 80s planned for later next week (seriously??).

Sharps is a medical term for devices with sharp points or edges that can puncture or cut skin. Used sharps are dangerous if not disposed of safely because they can injure and spread infections that cause serious health conditions.

Sadly, a pedestrian is killed every 74 minutes in traffic crashes.

🚶➡️ Follow the rules of the road
🚶➡️ Use crosswalks when available
🚶➡️ Walk on sidewalks when available
🚘 Look out for pedestrians and minimize blind spots
🚘 Be careful in hard-to-see conditions
🚘 Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks

This time of year, deer begin moving more often. Be alert for deer crossing the road. They often travel in groups. If you see one do not swerve to miss it just slow down and stay in your lane.

When you know your history and share it with your healthcare professional you give them a clearer picture allowing them to:
- Spot patterns early
- Recommend related screenings
- Catch issues before they become serious
