Tompkins County Whole Health Unveils Mural Celebrating Public Health Efforts and Commemorating the COVID-19 Pandemic
(7/9/2024) A new mural commemorating community public health efforts and honoring those who passed away from COVID-19 has been unveiled by Tompkins County Whole Health (TCWH), in collaboration with the Tompkins County Office for the Aging and Ithaca Murals.
The mural is located along the Albany Street side of the Human Services Annex Building, which houses the Tompkins County Office for the Aging (COFA) and Department of Veterans Services (TCDVS), at 214 W. Martin Luther King Jr./State St., Ithaca. The mural was designed by Britt Johnson and Efren Rebugio of Austin, TX., partners of Ithaca Murals who have painted several murals in the region. The mural was funded through a grant from the NYS Department of Health to support COVID-19 vaccination efforts.
The mural captures different visual elements of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Tompkins County community. The mural demonstrates how critical vaccinations are to prevent illness and keep one another healthy and safe, especially during public health emergencies. The mural shows people coming together in an uncertain and challenging time for our community.
More information and statements are in the full press release.
Health Alert: Check for Ticks, Prevent Lyme Disease & Other Tick-Borne Illnesses
(7/2/2024) Tompkins County Whole Health (TCWH) is alerting the community to be aware of the dangers of contracting Lyme Disease and other illnesses as a result of bites from ticks. Ticks have been reported to transmit over 7 different illnesses which can affect people of any age. Tick-borne disease symptoms vary by type of infection and can include fever, fatigue, headache, and rash.
Lyme disease is spread to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks (or deer ticks). Because Lyme disease is caused by bacteria, re-infection can occur with any bite from an infected tick. For reducing the risk of tick-borne disease, ticks must be removed within 36 hours. However, tick-borne diseases other than Lyme disease can be transmitted within just a few hours, so it is essential to check for ticks frequently and remove them as soon as possible.
Additional information on prevention and how to remove a tick is in the full press release.
Cảnh báo về HABs: Tảo nở hoa có hại ở Quận Tompkins
(6/24/2024) TCWH urges residents and visitors to beware of HABs. These blooms can occur in any calm body of water and may produce toxins that are harmful to people and animals. Do not drink the water and avoid contact with the water if it appears discolored or has an unpleasant odor. Do not allow pets to swim in water where suspicious cyanobacteria blooms are present. Hot weather and intense rain and runoff events can lead to an increase in the presence of HABs.
HABs can also be present in smaller ponds. Residents who have private ponds should monitor their ponds for signs of blooms and avoid contact.
Please review the full press release for information on identifying HABs, what to do if a person or a pet comes in contact with HABs, and how to report sightings.

Stay safe during hot weather.
Summertime heat can be dangerous for anyone. Some people are at risk of serious health effects – even death – from getting overheated. Health risks include dehydration, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and worsening of health conditions.
Prepare for a heat wave:
- Know the symptoms of heat-related illnesses.
- Make sure that you can open your windows and/or that your air conditioner is working properly.
- Find out where cooling centers are near you, and when they are open.
- Choose someone that you can call for help or who can check on you.
- Talk to your doctor or pharmacist to learn more about medications that might make you sensitive to the sun or heat.
Overheated?
Heat-related illnesses occur when the body is unable to cool itself. The most common heat-related illnesses are heat stroke (sun stroke), heat exhaustion, heat cramps and heat rash. Here are the symptoms and first-aid responses. Click here for a NYSDOH web page of symptoms and first-aid responses.
Cooling Centers:
Cooling centers are facilities where you can go to cool off during extreme heat. If a cooling center is not available, libraries, supermarkets, malls, and community swimming pools are great places to stay cool.
Click here for a list of cooling centers by county.
Remember, call before you go! Cooling centers may be closed at certain times or only available during extreme heat events. The phone number and address of each cooling center is provided in the listing. (Compiled by the NYS Department of Health and represents the most up to date information provided by local agencies.)
