A white-fronted goose found near the Rantamo-Seittelin wetland in Tuusula has been diagnosed with highly pathogenic avian influenza, a serious disease affecting birds. The bird was taken to a veterinarian in an injured condition and, after being euthanised, was sent to the Finnish Food Authority for examination. On 24 April 2025, the examination confirmed that the bird was carrying highly pathogenic avian influenza.

Since 2018, the Tuusula municipal hospital school, Kalliomaa School, has been offering multidisciplinary hospital school consultation services to schools and pupils in the Tuusula, Nurmijärvi, Järvenpää and Pornainen areas. Consultation assistance has been provided by a team consisting of three special education teachers, an occupational therapist, a psychiatric nurse and a school social worker. Due to savings in the welfare sector, Keusote will no longer offer the services of an occupational therapist, nurse or social worker for consultation. The multidisciplinary Alva consultation will therefore end on 31 May 2025.

The Central Uusimaa Welfare Area (Keusote) is preparing to reform its service network in the coming years. However, the most important thing will not change: social and health services will remain available to residents. The aim of the development work is to ensure that we are able to provide statutory social and health services in a timely, high-quality and smooth manner – also in the future.
