Keeping You Healthy – Wherever Your Travels Take You

When traveling internationally, staying healthy is essential. No one wants to be sidelined by illness in a foreign country. 

Cone Health’s comprehensive travel medicine services are ideally suited for work, leisure, study abroad and mission trips to overseas locations. Services, including vaccinations, follow CDC guidelines and global health alerts. Travelers also receive detailed, destination-specific information. 

“Knowing the health requirements and recommendations for each destination in advance is critical to staying safe and healthy,” says Cheryl Rodrigues, Cone Health’s Occupational Health & Wellness manager. “It’s also important to consider each traveler’s medical needs when recommending vaccines, medications or other preventive steps.”

“Travelers often focus on their main destination and overlook layovers, embassy rules or hotel-specific requirements,” adds Jan Bullins, Occupational Health & Wellness supervisor. “That’s why we advise consulting a travel medicine provider two to four weeks before departure.”

Globetrotting travelers benefit in many ways from travel medicine:

• Personalized care for every international itinerary: One-on-one consultations include a full medical history review, including chronic conditions and medications. Travelers get tailored advice on what to pack, what to avoid and how to stay safe. Many travel vaccinations are available on the same day. Cone Health is authorized by the CDC to administer Yellow Fever vaccines, which is often required to enter certain countries in Africa and South America.
• Destination-specific guidance: Providers use a trusted, continuously updated travel health database to deliver clear, in-depth health and safety summaries for each destination. Along with travel alerts and maps, travelers receive the latest updates on disease outbreaks, vaccine requirements and recommendations, and food and water safety.
• Prevention and treatment plans: In addition to vaccinations, travelers receive prescriptions for preventive medications – such as malaria medications specific to the region – that can be filled at convenient Cone Health Community Pharmacy locations. They also get advice on avoiding and treating travelers’ diarrhea and mosquito-borne illnesses like Zika and Dengue, plus insights into medical care and quality while abroad. 

Cone Health Occupational Health & Wellness offers travel medicine services at three convenient Triad locations in Burlington, Greensboro and Kernersville.
