☀️🔥 When intense UV rays and soaring heat indexes hit, sunburns can happen fast — even on cloudy days. Our Texas sun can cause painful burns in as little as 15 minutes without proper protection. Remember to apply SPF 30+ sunscreen, reapply every 2 hours, seek shade during peak hours (10am-4pm) and stay hydrated!

Don't let a sunburn ruin your summer fun. Wear protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses when outdoors. 🕶️

If you do get burned or experience other heat-related illnesses, come see us at SouthStar Urgent Care Corporate Offices. We’re here to help! 🏥

“Nothing but amazing experiences with this clinic. The staff is friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warmth and treated with respect. Appointments run on time, everything is clean and well-organized. My kids (6&5) ask can we go to this clinic whenever they’re sick & that speaks volumes, ‘cause kids generally do not like going to the doctor.” — Ruston, LA

· Burns from grills or fireworks.
· Ear pain after recent water sports.
· Fevers above 102°F.
· Signs of heat exhaustion.

⏰ Quick tip: pain and/or swelling that doesn't go away, severe bug bite reactions or persistent vomiting lasting 24+ hours all need professional attention quickly.

Why waste precious summer days feeling miserable? SouthStar Urgent Care offers walk-in care and evening hours to get you back to making memories fast!
