Sickness Doesn’t Stop in Summer

By

Health officials aren’t seeing many flu cases now, but the odd start leaves them questioning what that means for other illnesses as the warmer months continue. “When we have an unusual year, we’re all kind of on edge waiting for what’s next,” said Dr. Stephanie Maves with family medicine at Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse.
