It was wonderful to help cut the ribbon on the new Curley School playground dedicated to the beloved former principal Katie Grassa. It was great to join the Superintendent of Schools Mary Skipper and the many community and schools leaders who all worked so hard to make the new playground a reality.

There is no scientific evidence supporting the claim that taking Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism.

For evidence-based health information, talk with your health care provider.

World health officials counter Trump's unproven claim of link between acetaminophen and autism

Authorities from Australia to Europe moved swiftly Tuesday to respond to the U.S. announcement and affirm the safety of the drug during pregnancy.

Grocery prices have jumped up, and there's no relief in sight

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee...
