According to the Farmer’s Almanac and NASA… today marks the first day of summer.

WHAT?!
Some of us have been sweating since May! 🥵 Temps are blazing, humidity is high, and the Georgia sun isn’t playing around.

☀️ So before you step outside thinking summer just started, here are a few hot tips to help you stay safe:

🔹 Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! Don’t wait until you're thirsty—drink water throughout the day.
🔹 Dress smart. Lightweight, light-colored clothes help keep you cool.
🔹 Use sunscreen. SPF 30 or higher—apply 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every 2 hours.
🔹 Limit outdoor activity. Especially during peak sun hours (10 a.m. – 4 p.m.).
🔹 Check on pets and people. Make sure animals and vulnerable loved ones are staying cool and hydrated.
🔹 Know the signs of heat-related illness. Dizziness, nausea, heavy sweating? Time to rest, rehydrate, and cool down.

Summer may just now be official, but the heat’s been real for weeks. Let’s make safety just as real. 💧☀️🌿

🐾☀️ Keep Your Pets Safe This Summer! ☀️🐾

Summer fun can heat up fast, and while we love seeing pets like this pup soaking up the sunshine, protecting our furry friends from the dangers of high temps is important. 🐶🌡️

Here are signs of heat stress in pets to watch for:
🚨 Excessive panting or drooling
🚨 Bright red gums or tongue
🚨 Vomiting or diarrhea
🚨 Lethargy or confusion
🚨 Collapse or seizures

Do:
✅ Walk pets early in the morning or after sunset
✅ Provide fresh water and shade at all times
✅ Test the pavement — if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws!
✅ Keep up with flea, tick, and heartworm prevention

Don’t:
❌ Leave your pet in a parked car — even with cracked windows!
❌ Shave your pet too short — their coat protects from sunburn
❌ Overexercise them in the heat

Let’s make this summer safe and tail-waggin' good! 🐕

🌟 Everyday Excellence 🌟

Today, we’re recognizing two incredible team members in our Pain Management Clinic—Dr. Johnson and Ms. Tabares, LPN—for their professionalism, compassion, and tireless work ethic.

Whether it’s providing expert care or lending a helping hand to a teammate, these two go above and beyond to support both their patients and their colleagues. Their commitment to excellence doesn’t go unnoticed—and neither does the kindness they show every single day.
