“It’s not about getting rid of grief. It’s about making sure it doesn’t stop you from moving forward.”

For Dr. Serign Marong ’02, Washington State University has never been just the place where he earned his degree. Embedded in every chapter of his life, WSU has remained a constant—one he returned to when seeking the most meaningful way to honor his late wife, Visa.

By creating the Visa Marong Memorial Scholarship, Serign found a way to translate love and loss into something enduring and to honor the values that defined Visa's life.

Today, Serign is practicing medicine and remains active in the Cougar community. Read more about his journey:

I went to the UW for medical school. That wasn’t the only place I’ve experienced racism in medicine.

I’m a bit surprised about the WPHP because I have known good ppl to work there.

Please share!

🦠 This flu season is trending worse than last year.
Right now, the CDC estimates around 11 million flu illnesses, 120,000 hospitalizations, and ~5,000 deaths so far — compared to about 5.3 million illnesses and 2,700 deaths at the same point last season. That means more than double the impact in illness and deaths this year. 

📈 Flu activity has been climbing rapidly across the country — nearly all states are reporting high or very high flu levels, and hospital visits for flu-like symptoms are at record highs compared to recent years. 

👶 Tragically, multiple pediatric flu deaths (including at least nine nationwide so far) are being reported this season, and health officials are closely watching trends for the next few weeks. 

💉 Why does this matter?
🔹 Flu can be serious — especially for young kids, seniors, and people with health conditions.
🔹 Vaccination remains the best way to reduce severe illness and deaths.
🔹 It’s not too late to get your flu shot!

🧼 Stay safe out there — wash hands, stay home if sick, and protect one another 💛

Why give your newborn the Hepatitis B vaccine at birth?

Because Hep B can pass from mom to baby during birth — and the risks are real:

📊 ≈ 90 % of newborns (or infants) who get infected go on to develop chronic, lifelong infection. (CDC)
📊 About 25 % of people infected in infancy/early childhood may later die prematurely from liver disease — such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. (CDC)

The birth-dose vaccine is safe, highly effective, and gives protection from day one.

🍼 Strong start.
💛 Lifelong protection.
