HEALTH NEWS

  • Erie County has not reported a measles case since 1991 — even as an unvaccinated adult in nearby Ashtabula County became Ohio’s first 2025 case after contact with an international traveler.

  • Jay Estes, a 66-year-old Summit Township man who was a union plumber, started receiving Leqembi infusions on January 15 at the LECOM Ambulatory Surgery Center to slow his early-stage Alzheimer’s disease.
