Hand Foot Mouth illness

Posted Date: 11/03/25 (09:02 AM)


Dear families, 
We have had numerous confirmed cases of Hand, Foot, Mouth in the past two weeks, in different grade levels. Below is a link to the CDC page with information, signs & symptoms, and what to "look for" in your child. Please be aware that this is highly contagious, and if your child experiences these symptoms or is not feeling well, it is VERY important to keep them home. Please, if your child does have a case of HFM, let the clinic know ASAP so we can report this information to the Health Department of Hernando County.
Thank you!
