Things you need to know about the H1N1 virus:

Those who think they have the H1N1 virus need to schedule an appointment with their regular physician instead of going to the hospital emergency room. Health officials are only testing patients that have been admitted to the hospital.

The H1N1 virus appears to be no more contagious than seasonal flu. Those with underlying conditions such as diabetes, asthma, pregnancy, or compromised immune systems are particularly at risk.

The King's Daughters Medical Center Clinic is open in the Stribling Associate Degree Nursing Building Room 115 during the academic year. The Clinic is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. to see students and faculty. A KDMC physician or nurse practitioner will be avilable in the clinic. Services include non-emergency care such as physicals, sprains, strains, illness, flu, minor lacerations, cough, cold, etc. Walk-ins welcome. To schedule an appointment call (601) 823-5182.
