Community Calendar

This Month's Calendar

At Hunt Regional Healthcare, we understand how busy you are.

We know that you sometimes put off routine health screenings or postpone learning about preventive care because it just doesn’t fit into your weekly schedule. 

That’s why we schedule workshops and seminars to help you keep current on the latest in healthcare news.

Check the calendar for events planned for this month.

You can always get information about specific concerns, as well as pro-active preventive care - without even leaving home - from our online health library.

Influenza season is just around the corner. People should be lining up to get their flu shots.

This year there continues to be concern about Bird Flu or Avian Flu. The Wellness Information section of our health library contains information on Bird Flu (Avian Influenza). The same section also has information about the coming Flu Season and ways to avoid catching influenza.

You can also find information about that other winter scourge, The Common Cold, in your health library's "A to Z Topics" list.
