On Tuesday, September 9, the El Paso County Board of Commissioners passed a proclamation recognizing September 11 as Patriot Day, a "Day of Remembrance" so that we may never forget those who lost their lives 24 years ago, honor the heroic actions taken by our first responders, and express our gratitude to the members of our military for their continued service and sacrifice.

Your mosquito bites could be more than annoying.

West Nile Virus, which is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito, is most common in Colorado in August and September. While most people who get West Nile will not have symptoms, one in five infected people will have flu-like symptoms. There can also be more serious side effects.

Learn more about West Nile and how to protect yourself at elpasocountyhealth.org/west-nile-virus.
