County Coverage
WilCo health district focuses on disease prevention, care access

The Williamson County and Cities Health District, which provides public health resources and clinics throughout the county, presented updates on disease monitoring, service expansions and regulatory changes at a June 28 Georgetown City Council workshop.

What’s happening: The health district is monitoring both West Nile virus detections and active cases of cyclospora, Executive Director Amber Erickson said at the meeting.

The WCCHD operates 12 mosquito traps in Georgetown, eight of which tested positive for West Nile in the past month. The most recent positive detections were located in Edwards Park and in the Sun City community, Erickson said.

Health officials are also monitoring active cases of cyclospora, a parasitic stomach illness caused by contaminated food or water. Although some cases are associated with a national outbreak, no local point source has been identified, Erickson said.

What else? The WCCHD will purchase a new mobile clinical unit to increase healthcare access within the next six months, Erickson said. The mobile unit will address the current lack of a permanent clinic in Georgetown, she said.
