Southeastern Colorado is experiencing the heat wave, even reaching 100° today! When enjoying the long summer days, remember the importance of sun safety to keep your skin healthy and protected:

• Check the UV index for a score of 6 or higher, meaning protection from the sun is very important
• Apply sunscreen before going outside and reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating
• Avoid direct sun exposure between 10 AM-4 PM when UV rays are strongest
• Choose appropriate clothing including a wide-brimmed hat, 100% UV-blocking sunglasses, and long-sleeved clothing to shield your skin
• Stay hydrated

Have a safe and fun rest of the summer!

June is Men's Health Month

Men's health matters too. This month is a reminder to make your health a priority by checking your blood pressure, testing your cholesterol and wellness labs, stay-up-to-date on cancer screenings, taking care of your mental health, and scheduling annual wellness visits.

Many health conditions can be prevented or treated when found early. This month, take time to focus on your health and encourage the men and boys in your life to do the same.

Call our office to schedule your preventive care visit.

In May, we recognize both American Stroke & High Blood Pressure Education Month, which raises awareness for stroke warning signs, prevention, high blood pressure screening and management.

People with high blood pressure may not even realize they have it. High blood pressure often has no warning signs. Early screening and management of high blood pressure can help lower your risk for stroke and other serious health problems.

To manage your high blood pressure, you should:
✔️ Perform routine blood pressure checks
✔️ Eat healthy and get enough physical activity
✔️ Manage stress
✔️ Take medications as prescribed
✔️ Follow-up with your provider regularly

In addition to high blood pressure awareness, learn the signs of stroke, think FAST: face drooping, arm weakness, speech difficulty, and if you observe symptoms it is time to call for help.

Controlling your blood pressure is critical in preventing a stroke. Schedule your blood pressure screening today.

National Women's Health Month, observed in May, is a time for women to prioritize their own health and well-being. Women can face higher risks of certain conditions and diseases compared to men, which is why it is important to stay up-to-date on your wellness exams and tests including:
• Breast exams and mammograms
• Cervical cancer screenings
• Colon cancer screenings
• Blood tests including cholesterol, thyroid, and glucose to name a few

In addition to physical health, mental health and emotional well-being should be taken seriously too. There is help available.

Schedule an appointment with your provider today to discuss any health concerns.
