On April 18, Emerald Hills Institute hosted a timely Community Information Session focused on the recent measles outbreak in Utah. With growing concern across the state, this gathering provided an important opportunity for community members to come together, learn, and ask questions in a supportive environment.
A special thank you to our guest speaker, Dr. Leisha Nolen, MD, from the Utah Department of Health and Human Services, for sharing her expertise and offering clear, practical guidance on prevention, symptoms, and how families can stay protected.
Attendees gained valuable insights into:
- Understanding how measles spreads and why it is highly contagious
- Recognizing early symptoms and when to seek care
- The importance of vaccination and community awareness
- Steps individuals and families can take to reduce risk
We were encouraged by the strong turnout and the thoughtful engagement from participants. Events like this remind us how important it is to stay informed and connected, especially during times that impact public health.
We extend our sincere appreciation to our partners and community members who helped make this session possible. Your continued support strengthens our shared commitment to community well-being.
Stay connected with us for future educational programs and community initiatives.
