Lee Health: Plan for your flu vaccine now
Although flu viruses circulate year-round, flu activity typically increases in the fall and peaks between December and February. With the season approaching, now is a good time to plan how you’ll protect yourself, your loved ones, and our community. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone ages six months and older receive a flu vaccine each season, ideally during September or October. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop, so getting vaccinated before flu activity increases can help you be prepared. If you cannot get vaccinated in the fall, vaccination later in the season can still provide protection. Flu is highly contagious and can spread before symptoms appear and for several days after illness begins. For some people, it may mean missing work or school. For others, it can lead to serious complications, including pneumonia or worsening of chronic conditions such as heart disease, asthma, or diabetes. Vaccination is especially important for people at higher risk of serious flu complications, including adults 65 and older, pregnant women, young children, and people with certain chronic health conditions or weakened immune systems.

Philanthropy has helped build the NCH community knows today | Opinion
Over the past several years, Naples Comprehensive Health (NCH) has made significant investments in the future of health care in Southwest Florida. We have invested in new facilities, advanced technology and exceptional physicians and caregivers. We have expanded access to specialty care, formed partnerships with leading health care organizations and prepared our health system to serve one of Florida's fastest-growing regions. Those investments are producing results. More than 1.4 million patient visits each year are made to NCH through our hospitals, emergency departments, immediate care centers, outpatient locations and telemedicine services. Increasingly, patients choose NCH not simply because it is close to home, but because of the quality of care they receive. Independent organizations recognize this quality as well, consistently ranking NCH among the top health systems in the country for clinical performance. NCH has earned national recognition for cardiac care, orthopedic surgery, pulmonary care, stroke care, spine care and cranial neurosurgery. Our Comprehensive Stroke Center has earned The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval, and NCH's mortality index - lives we save that the average hospital doesn’t - is among the best in the country. We are proud of that progress. But that success has created a new challenge.
