🚨 **Measles Update in Georgia**

The Georgia Department of Public Health has confirmed **three new measles cases** in members of an unvaccinated metro Atlanta family who recently traveled internationally.

Measles is **highly contagious** and can spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The virus can remain in the air or on surfaces for up to **two hours**.

**Watch for symptoms:**
• High fever
• Cough
• Runny nose
• Watery eyes
• Rash that starts at the head and spreads downward

The **MMR vaccine is safe and effective** at preventing measles. Children should receive their first dose between **12–15 months** and a second dose between **4–6 years**.

If you have measles symptoms, **call your healthcare provider first** before going to a doctor’s office, hospital, or public health clinic.

Today, we celebrate the nurses who show up with skill, compassion, patience, and heart every single day.

From comforting patients to protecting communities, nurses are often the steady hands and caring voices people remember most during their health journey.

This year’s International Nurses Day theme is “Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives.” And we could not agree more. When nurses are supported, valued, and empowered, everyone benefits.

To every nurse serving our communities: thank you for the care you give, the lives you touch, and the difference you make.

Happy International Nurses Day!

While programs like Babies Can’t Wait do not provide an official diagnosis for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), we play an important role in connecting families to the resources they need.

If your child has been diagnosed, or you have concerns, reach out to us.
We’re here to help guide you, support you, and connect you with services that make a difference.

Because every child deserves the opportunity to grow, thrive, and be supported for who they are.

Let’s shift the focus from limitations to possibilities.
Let’s create space to truly see their ability.
