Pediatric RSV Hospitalizations
Hospitalizations and outbreaks for Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are on the rise in the Metro-area. RSV causes illness in people of all ages, but infants, young children and older adults are at greater risk of severe illness from RSV. Currently, 95% of hospitalizations are among children and hospital reports indicate the increase in RSV cases is putting a significant strain on the pediatric hospital system. Learn more about RSV and take steps to protect your family and hospital capacity.
COVID-19 Level Medium
Broomfield has moved to level β€œmedium” on the CDC’s COVID-19 Community Levels. This change indicates that the risk of COVID-19 infection is increasing in Broomfield, and that there are additional steps Broomfielders can take to keep themselves healthy and limit the strain on healthcare systems. If you are at high risk for severe illness, talk to your healthcare provider about whether you need to wear a mask and take other precautions.

Broomfield Youth for Youth (Y4Y), a youth advisory group for Broomfield Communities That Care, presented at the national American Public Health Association conference on the Photovoice project "Youth Voice as a Catalyst for Community Change." The project involved asking advisers their perspective on what could help or prevent them from being connected in their community. Youth advisers then brought in community members, key leaders and partners to explore connectedness with the community. Y4Y received a letter of congratulations on their Heart of Broomfield Award from Congressman Neguse!
