Are your kiddos headed back to school this week? Meet the people keeping them healthy when they've got their thinking caps on - the school nurses!

DHSS has determined that three unassociated individuals who stayed at Roaring River Lodge and RV Park in Cassville were diagnosed with Legionnaires' disease within 14 days after their stay. People can get Legionnaires' disease, a serious type of pneumonia, by breathing in small water droplets containing Legionella bacteria. In general, people do not spread Legionnaires' disease to other people, and it is not dangerous to most populations. People who have weakened immune systems or are over 50 years of age may experience severe symptoms. Pneumonia symptoms typically include cough, shortness of breath, fever, muscle aches and headaches. Additional symptoms may be present, such as confusion, nausea or diarrhea. Contact your doctor if you start experiencing symptoms, especially if you have recently visited this resort. #Legionnaires #LegionnairesDisease #Pneumonia

It's easy to celebrate our team members when they are this doggone wonderful! 🐕 This week, we held a reception to congratulate Ashlyn Sherman on being named Team Member of the Month for July! Ashlyn is our Health Planning Coordinator in the Office of Performance Management. Here's what her team has to say about her phenomenal work: "DHSS recently completed the momentous amount of work necessary to apply for reaccreditation under the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB) and we owe our successful application to our Health Planning Coordinator, Ashlyn Sherman." Achieving PHAB reaccreditation proves that a health department is operating to the best of its ability and has adopted best practices across the many facets of the public health discipline. Over the last six months, Ashlyn reviewed documentation for 124 narratives, 10 large-scale health plans totaling 1314 pages and meticulously highlighted countless thousands of pages of documentation to ensure all requirements were met. Director Paula Nickelson added, "We are looking forward to a robust accreditation survey organized by Ashlyn with a team well-prepared for the experience, in large part due to Ashlyn’s skill and organizational expertise." Join us in congratulating Ashlyn on this superb achievement!

👩🌾Buying local is one of the many perks of a farmers market! Just remember that at events like these, you should be shaking the hand of the person who grows your produce, NOT🚫 your cannabis. Licensed dispensaries only, folks! Find 'em at Cannabis.Mo.Gov to be sure. Happy #NationalFarmersMarketWeek! #FarmersMarket #FarmersMarketWeek #FarmersMarkets #Farmer #Farmers #ShopLocal #BuyLocal #Cannabis #CannabisEducation #Dispensary #HealthyLivingMO
