our latest project...
Immunizations!
The Alliance is proud of our recent endeavors to help educate our community on the importance and necessity of properly vaccinating through our campaign of 'deciphering facts and myths about childhood immunizations'. Our efforts have included a live community forum (video will be coming soon) and the creation of a booklet that is now being distributed by our local health care professionals, child care givers and the childbirth services at Munson Medical Center.
