Sunny days are meant for making memories—but they can also mean increased exposure to harmful UV rays. This week's forecast shows high to very high UV levels, which means your skin can burn faster than you might think.

A few ways to protect yourself and your family:

✔️ Apply and reapply sunscreen (SPF 30+)
✔️ Wear sunglasses and a hat when possible
✔️ Seek shade during peak sun hours
✔️ Stay hydrated while enjoying the outdoors

And while you're thinking about sunscreen, take a moment to check your skin. If you notice a mole or spot that is new, changing, or doesn't look quite right, give us a call! 419-354-9049

☀️ A little prevention today can help keep your skin healthy for years to come.

Did you know your primary care provider can help check for signs of skin cancer, including melanoma? ☀️

Skin checks aren’t just something done at a specialist’s office. During routine visits, your provider can evaluate concerning spots, discuss changes in your skin, and help determine if further testing or referral is needed.

Early detection matters — especially for melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer.

Watch for:
🔍 Spots that change in size, shape, or color
🔍 Moles with uneven borders
🔍 New or unusual skin changes
🔍 Areas that itch, bleed, or don’t heal

If something doesn’t look or feel right, don’t ignore it. Bringing it up during a primary care visit can be an important first step.

DId you know mental health support doesn’t always start in a therapist’s office. Sometimes it starts during a regular checkup?

During Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s a good reminder that Wood County Community Health Center helps care for both physical and mental health — because stress, sleep, anxiety, burnout, and emotional wellness can affect the whole body.

That means conversations about mental health can happen as part of everyday care, in a familiar place, with a team focused on whole-person health. ❤️

Care close to home means caring for the whole you.

Today is National Women’s Checkup Day — a reminder to make your health a priority.

Regular checkups help catch concerns early, keep you up to date on preventive care, and give you a chance to talk openly with a provider about your health goals and questions.

Whether it’s your annual wellness visit, preventive screenings, birth control, chronic condition management, or simply getting back into care — taking that first step matters.

At Wood County Community Health Center, we’re here to provide compassionate, patient-centered care for women at every stage of life.

If it’s been a while since your last visit, today is a great day to schedule one.

Your health matters. And you deserve care that supports it. Give us a call 419-354-9049
