Acute Flaccid Myelitis

Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is a rare, but serious, neurologic disease that causes muscles and reflexes in the body to become weak. People of any age can get AFM, but most of the recent cases have been in children. Most patients became ill in late summer or early fall.

The Benefits of Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding offers many benefits to your baby. Breast milk contains the right balance of nutrients to help your infant grow into a strong and healthy toddler. Some of the nutrients in breast milk also help protect your infant against some common childhood illnesses and infections.

Orthodontics: More Than Just a Pretty Smile

If you have problems with the spacing of your teeth or your bite, you may need orthodontic care. Most people who receive orthodontic care are kids, but adults get braces, too.
