July is UV Safety Month, and both INTEGRIS Health Grove Hospital and INTEGRIS Health Miami Hospital are proud to join health care professionals nationwide to raise awareness about the importance of protecting your skin and eyes from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and the importance of sun protection, especially in the Oklahoma heat. As Oklahomans enjoy more time outdoors during the summer months, it’s essential to remember that unprotected exposure to the sun’s UV rays can lead to serious health concerns including skin cancer, premature aging, sunburn and eye damage.
“Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, and it’s largely preventable with proper sun safety,” says Thomas Kamumo, PA-C, with INTEGRIS Health Medial Group Miami. “We want to empower our patients and community with the tools and knowledge to protect themselves, starting with simple, daily habits.”
UV Safety Month serves as a timely reminder that protecting your skin today can prevent serious health issues in the future. INTEGRIS Health remains committed to preventive care, early detection and promoting lifelong wellness across the state of Oklahoma.
