Your body needs water to function at its best — especially during the hot summer months. Dehydration can lead to fatigue, headaches, dizziness, and more serious health issues if left unchecked.

Make water your go-to drink throughout the day. Carry a water bottle, eat water-rich foods like fruits and veggies, and listen to your body — if you’re thirsty, you’re already behind on fluids!

Protecting your skin isn’t just about avoiding sunburn — it’s about preventing skin damage and lowering your risk of skin cancer.

Here’s what to keep in mind:
Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, apply it 15 minutes before going outside, and reapply every two hours — or more often if you're swimming or sweating.

Sunscreen is for everyone, every day — even when it’s cloudy!

Heat stroke is a medical emergency. It can happen quickly, especially during hot and humid weather.

Watch for these warning signs:
High body temperature (103°F or higher)
Hot, red, dry or damp skin
Rapid pulse
Headache, dizziness, or confusion
Nausea or passing out

If you think someone is experiencing heat stroke, call 911 immediately. Move them to a cooler place, and try to lower their body temperature with cool cloths or a bath.

Stay safe this summer. Know the signs, and take action fast.

Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death in children. Always stay within arm’s reach of young kids near water, and consider swim lessons to build their confidence and safety skills. Don’t forget to empty kiddie pools and buckets when they’re not in use, and talk to your children about water safety rules before any swim.

Together, we can help make this summer safe and fun for the whole family.

High blood pressure usually has no symptoms, but if it becomes dangerously high, you might notice severe headaches, vision problems, chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness. Don’t wait for warning signs to take control. Regular blood pressure checks are essential.

Talk to your PCHS provider about monitoring your blood pressure, and ask if your insurance covers a blood pressure cuff for home use.
