Intermountain Healthcare Health Hub App -

It’s that time of year.

Germ season. (read our post on using Hand Sanitizer).

I just can’t have sick kids because if ONE kid get ill, then we all get sick.

So, last Monday, 5 (FIVE!!!) kids in my sons class went home sick from a stomach virus. Not what you want to hear when you pick up your child from school.

When he got home I had him change his clothes and shower. Then, we kept him home for two days. It’s times like this when I feel like living in a bubble maybe a good solution.

Unfortunately, the baby still got a cold virus. I was convinced it was an ear infection with the way he was pulling on his ears and not eating, but it wasn’t. When you child is crying and not eating, it’s really hard to focus on finding a provider. Thankfully, we’d downloaded the Intermountain Healthcare Health Hub App. It allowed us to check a head of time what the wait time was.

We hope that you don’t have sick kids, but in case you do, try using this app to save you stress and time.

If you download the app, let us know. We’d love to know how it works for you.
