PHOENIX (April 28, 2005) – Arizona again faces a potentially challenging West Nile Virus (WNV) season. Last year, Arizona led the nation with 400 total WNV cases, which resulted in 14 confirmed deaths. Of those who recover, some suffer from lingering and often debilitating side effects. In simple terms, WNV can be a life-changing disease.
To help survivors cope, a West Nile Virus Support Group has been formed at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center. The group is open to those affected by WNV, their family members and anyone interested in learning more about the disease. Beginning May 5, the group will meet the first Thursday of every month at 1 p.m. in Cafeteria Dining Rooms B & C at Banner Good Samaritan, 1111 E. McDowell Road in Phoenix.
