Because people with diabetes are more susceptible to illnesses and infections, Upstate Carolina Medical Center will present a special “Cold and Flu Prevention and Preparation” diabetes support group meeting on Monday, Jan. 8, at 6 p.m. in the hospital’s cafeteria.

The guest speaker will be Dana Simons, RN/MSN, the hospital’s Infection Control Coordinator. She will discuss what you can do to protect yourself and prevent the spread of infection.

Everyone is welcome. Advance registration is not required. However, for more information, please contact Kelly Morris, RN, at 864-487- 1652.
