At least 100 students have fallen ill at Ursinus College. Officials at the school say they are still working to track down the source of the sickness that is impacting so many of their students. The college voluntarily closed down their cafeteria after students became ill with stomach-related ailments. Most of the evening events scheduled for Wednesday night were cancelled after a fast moving outbreak of gastrointestinal illness hit campus. The stomach illness is carrying the symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain.

A new group at Virtua in New Jersey will give women with heart disease the support and information they need to stay healthy. WomenHeart at Virtua is for women with heart disease who often feel they have no emotional nor educational support. Dr. Maria Duca, director of womenâ€™s cardiology at Virtua North Division says patients will get a lot out of the meetings. She says the program is run by female cardiac patients who understand what other women may be experiencing.

Concern about what is in the water took center stage in Moorestown, Burlington County on Wednesday night. A township meeting at town hall was packed and among those in attendance were members of the Moorestown Water Group. The residents are united in their objection to trichloropropane, or TCP, found in the townâ€™s drinking water. TCP is a chemical compound commonly used as an industrial solvent. Township officials say they are taking steps to improve the water. The TCP in Moorestown water first came to light in 2013 when two water wells at the Church Street Water Treatment Plant were closed. One reopened last summer after no TCP was found during testing. Since it reopened, TCP has registered again in the testing.
