Urgent Care Awareness Month Fosters Better Understanding of Industry

May 2015 was the National Urgent Care Awareness Month set by the Urgent Care Association of America (UCAOA). The association declared this celebration to drum up awareness about the role of the urgent care industry to health care, as well as the contributions of its professionals. The association utilized the social media platform Twitter to coordinate participation of centers across the nation in the awareness drive. Local urgent care providers also have service variations or specialties. Residents of Santa Clara, CA, for example, can go to the U.S. HealthWorks Medical Group on Walsh Avenue if they need employment physicals, chiropractic care, or post-trauma treatment, and treatments for pneumonia, UTI and more.

Santa Clara Urgent Care Centers Help Spread Lyme Disease Awareness

Northern California has more than its fair share of ticks, and researchers from Stanford University have discovered that a number of ticks found in the Bay Area carry Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. This alone should shatter the illusion of “you can’t get Lyme disease in California” that many people have. If you love to spend your time in the great outdoors, know that your risk of picking up a tick increases. To counter this, wear long-sleeved shirts and pants treated with permethrin to reduce the amount of exposed skin. If you do not have such clothing in your wardrobe, Santa Clara urgent care doctors recommend you apply insect repellant with at least 20% DEET to exposed skin. You should also avoid walking through tall grass and dense foliage.

Santa Clara Urgent Care Tips for Staying Safe During Crowded Events

With the biggest sports event in the country happening in Santa Clara in 2016, the authorities (and the folks organizing the event) aren’t taking any chances when it comes to the crowd’s safety. Yes, Super Bowl 50 is slated to take place in Santa Clara County’s very own Levi’s Stadium next year, and as early as last month, the county's police and environmental health department officials have started taking precautions. One of the measures that the committee took was raiding unlicensed street vendors. The officials didn’t confiscate goods if they’re not counterfeited apparel or any other illegal products, but advised the vendors to pack up and leave and get a proper permit to sell. The measure was also in time for the jam-packed WrestleMania event that took place later in March.
