Welcome from the HIV Care Team at UHS Primary Care - Binghamton.
Twice a week from October to June, members of the Broome-Tioga Special Olympics powerlifting team train at UHS’ Vestal Sports Performance Gym. The athletes work with UHS’ experienced lifting coaches, some of whom have been lifting since they were teens themselves.
For many people, warm weather is a time for fun-filled outdoor activities. However, hot weather and outdoor activities don’t always mix well, especially during periods of extreme heat. Extreme heat can cause people to suffer from heat-related illness, and even death. People suffer heat-related illness when their bodies are unable to properly cool themselves.
If you plan to spend more time outdoors this summer, please be aware of ticks. These parasites are known to carry Lyme disease, particularly in the Northeast, mid-Atlantic and upper Midwest areas. Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and Borrelia mayonii (found only in the upper Midwest).
A critical component of UHS’ ability to provide top-quality trauma care to the Southern Tier community is the new helipad atop Wilson Main Tower at UHS Wilson Medical Center in Johnson City.
