While most young children in the US receive recommended vaccinations by age two to protect against infectious diseases like measles, polio and chickenpox, less than 60% receive the recommended doses of flu vaccine. Now more than ever, it is important that young children receive flu vaccinations to help prevent flu and its potentially severe complications. When children get their flu vaccine, check to see if other recommended vaccinations are due or might have been missed due to pandemic-related disruptions. Learn more: http://bit.ly/mm6942a1.

Hello Montana – School District 2 Health Services
Thanks to the Yellowstone County Economic Response Team leaders who visited RiverStone Health on Nov. 13 for the Healthcare Appreciation Day they organized. In just about a week, Big Sky Economic Development, Billings Area Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Billings Alliance collected donations for thousands of gift cards to local businesses and presented them to Billings health workers. Thanks to all who helped send this amazing message of support for the public health and healthcare workforce battling the pandemic.
Susie King Taylor, teacher and nurse, was born into slavery in Georgia in 1848. During the Civil War, she and other African Americans sought safety behind Union lines on the South Carolina Sea Islands. She attached herself to the first black regiment in the U.S. Army, the First South Carolina Volunteers, where she worked as the regimental laundress and taught former slaves how to read. Some sources describe her as the first African American army nurse. She moved to Boston in 1872 and devoted much of the rest of her life to work with the Woman’s Relief Corps, a national organization for Civil War veterans.

Dr. Charles Richard Drew, an African American surgeon, has been called “the father of the blood bank,” since he organized America's first large-scale blood bank during the early years of World War II. He also trained a generation of black physicians at Howard University. In 1940, Drew directed an effort by New York hospitals to collect blood and plasma for British casualties. He developed uniform standards for collecting and processing blood plasma at the hospitals. Afterward, he helped pilot a national blood banking system. His innovations included mobile blood donation stations, later called "bloodmobiles." Ironically, when the blood bank effort expanded, before America entered the war, the armed forces initially kept African Americans from donating blood. The policy quickly shifted, so that Blacks could donate, but use of the blood products was segregated. Throughout the war, Drew criticized these policies as unscientific and insulting.
