July is Sun Safety Month
Practice Sun Safety All Year but Especially in Summer

The growth of skin cancer over the past several years is strongly related to exposure to the sun's Ultra-Violet (UV) rays. But UV damage can be avoided. Shade, clothing and hats offer the best protection, with sunscreen being used on those parts of the body left exposed.

It is also important to protect your eyes from damage caused even by single outing on very bright days. Wear sunglasses to ensure your eyes are protected. When purchasing sunglasses, make sure they block 99 to 100 percent of UV-A and UV-B rays.

Here are some additional tips to keep in mind:

Limit your exposure to the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV rays are strongest.
Remember, shade from trees, awnings, umbrellas does not offer complete protection.
A hat with a wide brim offers good sun protection for eyes, ears, face and neck.
Apply sunscreen with a protection rating of at least 15. And re-apply every two hours, especially after swimming or exercising outdoors.

A fresh perspective on the value of Urgent Care availability.
The June 12 issue of the Star Ledger discusses how Urgent Care has been gaining in popularity across the country, since they provide care when it is needed and are covered by most insurance plans. High Mountain Health is proud that it has provided for the urgent care needs of our patients for several years. For Urgent Care locations and schedules, click here.
