The CDC expects that more cases, more hospitalizations and more deaths from this outbreak will occur over the coming days and weeks.  The CDC continues to take aggressive action to respond to an expanding outbreak caused by novel H1N1 flu. The CDC’s response goals are to: 1. Reduce transmission and illness severity, and 2. Provide information to help health care providers, public health officials and the public address the challenges posed by this emergency.

For many years, one of the most important issues that rural communities have tried to address is cultivating an adequate, well-trained workforce. The population of NH’s rural communities is older than the state as a whole— 19 percent of Coos County residents are over 65 years old versus 13 percent statewide, according to 2007 state data. And there are fewer people in the workforce with the needed skills to treat them.  Click here for full article.
