The public is invited to an educational program, “MRSA: What is It? How do I get it? What can I do about it?” on Thursday, February 28 offered by Community Hospital.

Presenter is Sharon Conroy, R.N., Community Hospital Infection Control/Employee Health Nurse.

MRSA or methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is a staph infection resistant to some antibiotics, making it more difficult to treat than a normal staph infection. It has been in the news a lot lately. Now it is time to get the facts straight.

Registrations are necessary by calling Susan Harris-Broomfield, Community Hospital Outreach Coordinator, at 308-344-8550. Be prepared to leave your name, phone number, the number of people attending, and whether you will attend the morning or evening seminar.
