You bought your airline tickets, got your passport and selected your wardrobe for that dream vacation. What’s left to do? If you’re heading for an exotic location, The Miriam Hospital’s Travel Medicine Service should be your first stop before the big trip. The Travel Medicine Service at The Miriam is widely recognized as a leader in tropical medicine and international health. It is the largest travel medicine center in Rhode Island, and its physicians are faculty members of Brown Medical School, Providence. "People often don’t realize hidden dangers in everything from eating tainted food to swimming. An innocent-looking pond may contain parasites that penetrate the skin," says service director Maria Mileno, MD. "We tailor recommendations for travelers by considering their health status, vaccination records and specific destination." Heeding advice from the travel experts is an investment that could make your trip a vacation to remember, instead of one you’d rather forget.
