Do you work in construction, landscaping or line of work which exposes you to getting a cut/injury?

Don’t wait until you have an emergency. Get the Tdap booster vaccine today.
Why?

The spore causing Tetanus is found in the soil and animal or human manure. This spore is capable of surviving for a long time and can damage the nervous system.

“Tdap vaccine can prevent tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis.
Diphtheria and pertussis spread from person to person. Tetanus enters the body through cuts or wounds (1)”

(Spanish)

Trabaja en construcción, landscaping o en una área de trabajo la cual le exponga a cortarse?

No espere más. Colóquese la vacuna contra el Tétanos. No espere a tener una emergencia.
Si se preguntan el porqué?

Esta vacuna le protege contra Tetanus,Diphtheria, and Pertussis. Las dos últimas se contagian de persona a persona. El tétanos puede contagiarse por una espora y entra por cortada/herida.

La espora causante del tétanos se encuentra en muchas áreas y es capaz de sobrevivir por mucho tiempo. Está entra el sistema nervioso causando espasmos intensos y sellando la mandíbula.

DVT (blood clot) vs Cellulitis (Infection)

Although both conditions can present similar symptoms and they can also co-exist (show at the same time); there are different thus their treatment varies.

Patients experiencing cellulitis present with “raised temperature, edema, pain, and erythema in the affected area (1); which may include more than one part of the body.

While Patients having Blood clots “may report symptoms of pain, swelling, warmth and discoloration or redness (2)” to a localized area most times.

How do you protect yourself from either condition?

**Know your risk factors and address them with your health care provider (P*P)
**Stay active
**Avoid extreme humidity and/or sun exposure
**Take all your medications as prescribed
**When traveling, wear compression stockings if permitted/advised by your P*P

IMPORTANT

3/30/2026 marks a milestone for Nurse Practitioners (NP) in NJ.

This past Monday, Governor Mikie Sherrill “signed legislation to eliminate selective restrictions for advanced practice nurses (APNs) practicing in New Jersey” (2).

What does this mean to the Health & Wellness Center of NJ patients?

We will continue to provide Primary and Preventative care to our community with the exception of fear of having to close the practice due to lack of collaborator (a Medical Doctor willing to collaborate on the care of our patients).

The signing of this bill “ensures that advanced practice nurses with extensive clinical experience are able to continue independently providing primary and behavioral health care service”(2).

Although not a requirement at this time, we have opted to continue working with a Collaborating Physician to ensure NPs mentorship and guidance available when needed.

(Español)

El 30 de Marzo se alcanzó un progreso para la profesión de Enfermería Avanzada (NP) en NJ.

Este pasado Lunes, la Gobernadora Mikie Sherrill firmó la legislación que elimina las barreras hacia lo/as NPs que trabajamos en NJ.

¿Qué significa esta legislación para los pacientes de Health & Wellness Center de NJ?

Continuaremos ofreciendo servicios de Medicina Primaria y Preventivos con la excepción de no preocuparnos de cerrar nuestras puertas por falta de un colaborador (Un/a Médico/a dispuesto a trabajar conjuntamente en el servicio de nuestros pacientes).

La firma de este documento asegura que las Enfermeras Avanzadas con experiencia en su área de salud podrán seguir ejerciendo independientemente.

Aunque no es necesario tener un colaborador en este momento hemos decidido continuar nuestra participación con una Médico para de esta forma tener mentoría y apoyo cuando sea preciso.
