Cuyuna Regional Medical Center’s Infection Control Nurse Sara Dorschner, R.N., will be the guest of KKIN Radio’s Community Connection program, 94.3 on the FM dial, Thursday, Dec. 12, from 8 to 8:30 a.m. She will speak about the importance of handwashing and influenza vaccination during this time of year.
According to Dorschner, thoroughly washing your hands and getting an annual flu shot are the best ways to keep healthy during flu season. She also suggests preventing the spread of germs by covering coughs and sneezes and if ill, to limit contact with others as much as possible.
