Trivia Question❓

What famous civil rights leader once lived in Norristown, Montgomery County, PA and attended Cheltenham High School in nearby Cheltenham Township?

Answer at the bottom of the newsletter

Montgomery County health officials have identified a confirmed case of measles, raising concerns of possible exposure in the Norristown area.

 

The case involves someone who visited Patient First Primary and Urgent Care in Collegeville on January 29, between 1:15 and 4:15 p.m.

 

Officials urge anyone at the clinic during those hours to watch for measles symptoms—fever, rash, cough, congestion, runny nose, or red eyes—for the next 21 days.

 

Measles spreads easily through the air and can linger on surfaces for up to two hours.

 

Anyone with symptoms should remain home and contact a healthcare provider before visiting a clinic in person.

 

MMR vaccination offers reliable protection and is widely available from local healthcare providers and pharmacies.

 

Infants, pregnant people, and those with weakened immune systems are especially at risk for complications.
