WCHC Weekly Illness Update

Illness activity remains elevated in our area this week. RSV is very high, while COVID and Strep are at substantial levels. Influenza activity is high at this time.

With multiple respiratory illnesses circulating, we encourage everyone to take precautions — wash hands frequently, cover coughs and sneezes, clean high-touch surfaces, and stay home if you’re feeling sick. Early testing and treatment can help reduce spread and protect those most vulnerable. 💙

Happy Valentine’s Day & National Donor Day! 💕

Today is a celebration of love in all its forms—love for our partners, families, friends, and communities. It’s also a day to honor a powerful kind of love: the selfless act of giving.

National Donor Day reminds us that organ, eye, tissue, blood, and marrow donors make an incredible impact. One decision can save and heal lives, giving others more time, more memories, and more moments with the people they love.

This Valentine’s Day, let love live on. ❤️

Consider registering as a donor and sharing the ultimate gift of hope and life.

❤️ February is American Heart Month ❤️

This month, we’re taking time to recognize the importance of caring for our hearts and raising awareness about cardiovascular health.

This week is especially meaningful as we observe Cardiovascular Professionals Week and Cardiac Rehabilitation Week — a time to celebrate the dedicated team members who provide expert, compassionate heart care every single day.

From prevention and diagnostics to treatment and recovery, our cardiovascular and cardiac rehab teams are committed to helping patients live stronger, healthier lives. We are grateful for the skill, teamwork, and heart they bring to our community.

Let this month be a reminder to:
💓 Know your numbers
💓 Stay active
💓 Eat heart-healthy
💓 Manage stress
💓 Support those on the road to recovery

A little throwback to a recognition we’re still thankful for. 💙 Being named a Top 100 Critical Access Hospital by The Chartis Center for Rural Health is a reminder of what matters most—quality care, safety, and serving our neighbors. This one belongs to our staff, patients, and community.
