☀️ Summer fun in the sun can have effects that are not fun at all, including heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke. 🥵

😓 How do you know which is which, and what should you do?

💪 Heat cramps are muscle spasms. Take a break and drink water and get electrolytes
🥵 Heat exhaustion happens when your body overheats and can look like heavy sweating, fever and cold, clammy skin. Get in the shade, get water and apply cold items to the back of your neck.
😵‍💫 Heatstroke is when your body is seriously overheating. You'll sweat less, your skin will flush and feel hot. You'll also have headache, vomiting and convulsions. Get to an ER immediately!

🏥 Don't forget: Our ER is here for you 24/7, and the Wamego Family Clinic Walk-In Clinic is open 7 a.m. - 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Stay safe and cool! 🧊

🖐️ June is National Safety Month, a time to focus on preventing injuries at work, at home, and everywhere in between. Hand and upper extremity injuries are among the most common, and can have a big impact on daily life.

💚 Meet MaryJane Damme, an experienced Occupational Therapist and Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) who has been helping patients at Wamego Health Center for more than a decade.

🧠 June is Aphasia Awareness Month
Aphasia is a language disorder that affects a person's ability to speak, understand, read, or write—often caused by stroke or brain injury. Recovery takes time, support, and the right therapy team.

💚 Meet Kate Conwell, a seasoned Speech-Language Pathologist with more than a decade of experience at Wamego Health Center. With a Master’s in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Kansas State University, Kate helps patients regain their ability to communicate and swallow safely and effectively.

She provides specialized therapy for:
✅ Aphasia and other post-stroke communication disorders
✅ Swallowing issues (dysphagia) using tools like modified barium swallow studies
✅ Cognitive-communication deficits
✅ Voice disorders, including Parkinson’s-related speech changes through the SPEAK OUT!® program.

🗣️ SPEAK OUT!® is a structured speech therapy program designed for people with Parkinson’s. It helps strengthen the voice, improve communication, and preserve swallowing abilities by training patients to “speak with intent.”

"It’s incredibly rewarding to help patients reconnect with their loved ones and regain independence through improved communication," Kate says.

Our rehab team—including speech, occupational, and physical therapy—works together to build customized care plans that meet each patient’s unique needs.

📞 Call (785) 458-7211 to schedule with Kate or learn more about how we can support your recovery journey.
