In conjunction with National Preparedness Month in September, the Lake County Health Department/Community Health Center encourages all residents to play an active roll in preparing for an emergency.
The Lake County Health Department/Community Health Center touches the lives of countless Lake Countians every day while providing restaurant inspections, childhood immunizations and other vital services. As it celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, it is clear it has come a long way since its doors first opened to the public on September 2, 1958.
The dog days of summer bring hot weather, but they also bring the peak of the West Nile virus season. While no West Nile virus activity has been reported in Lake County yet this season, a human case has been identified in Kane County and several surrounding counties have identified mosquito pools that have tested positive for West Nile. The Lake County Health Department/Community Health Center is urging residents to prevent West Nile virus by protecting themselves from mosquito bites.
