Individualized Attention

 

Susie works with the most updated recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control for travel to all areas of the world.  She has been especially involved with the Kenya Program and is responsible for preparing two groups each year for travel to Kenya. 

 

She will personalize each traveler’s immunization schedule to best fit their individual needs and time constraints.  With the assistance of the Health Center nurse practitioners, she can provide the traveler with prescriptions for malaria prophylaxis after determining which drug is most appropriate for them depending upon their travel destination and individual health history.

Ms. Liberty can also provide a wide variety of information on various diseases and health care issues that may be encountered while visiting foreign countries, focusing on prevention and overall well being of the traveler, both during and after their stay abroad.
