| The Kent County Health Department has officially confirmed their first case of Measles in Kent County, making this the second case of Measles in Michigan this year. Due to the close proximity of GLT HHS to Kent County, we are encouraging patients and community members to reach out to their primary care providers to review their MMR (Measels, Mumps, and Rubella) vaccination status. GLT HHS has the MMR vaccine available and encourages you to reach out to a nurse to review your records and schedule a vaccine if needed.
