Summer Sun Safety Month is the perfect reminder that sun protection means more than just sunscreen.

Dialysis patients can be especially sensitive to sunlight, which increases the risk of sunburn and skin damage. Heat and humidity can also raise the risk of dehydration and related complications.

Wear lightweight clothing, avoid direct sun during peak hours, stay in shaded or cool areas, and yes, don’t skip the sunscreen! A few simple steps can help you stay safe and comfortable all summer long.

On National Sunflower Day, take a moment to celebrate growth in all its forms. Whether you’re adjusting to dialysis, supporting a loved one, or simply showing up each day with determination, you’re doing something powerful.
Keep going. Keep growing.

August 1 is National Minority Donor Awareness Day, a time to honor organ donors from multicultural communities and raise awareness about the urgent need for more donors of color.
More than half of people waiting for transplants in the U.S. are from minority populations, but donation rates remain disproportionately low.
Living kidney donation offers a powerful way to help. It allows someone to receive a transplant sooner and often leads to better outcomes.

World Lung Cancer Day is a time to raise awareness about the world’s deadliest cancer and the importance of early detection. Patients with chronic illnesses, including kidney disease, may already have reduced lung function due to fluid buildup or overlapping conditions. And while smoking is the leading cause, even nonsmokers can develop lung cancer due to other risk factors like air pollution or genetic conditions. That makes it even more important to watch for symptoms like a persistent cough, shortness of breath, or unexplained fatigue. If something feels off, don’t wait. Talk to your care team.

Research shows tattoos can help process trauma, mark recovery, and reclaim body image. That's a powerful reminder that not all healing is clinical. On National Tattoo Day, we recognize the personal journeys our patients and care teams carry as well as the many forms healing can take.
