What’s up with Infectious Diseases in Berks County
Starts Tue, Nov 17, 10:30 AM
About the class
This Seniors College talk at Alvernia University looks at infectious diseases that touch life in Berks County. The discussion covers everyday risks like tick bites and contaminated food or water, illnesses picked up while traveling, and infections that vaccines can prevent at home.
Dr. Debra Powell, MD, MS, Chair of Medicine at Tower Health Reading Hospital and Division Chief of Infectious Diseases, leads the session. She reviews which infections are circulating now, how much concern each one warrants, and practical steps people can take to protect their health. Expect a lecture format with time to listen and learn.
The class meets Tuesday mornings from 10:30 AM to 12 PM at the McGlinn Conference Center, 460 Saint Bernardine Street in Reading. It is offered for older adults through Alvernia's Seniors College program. Bring a notebook if you like to take notes.
