July is National UV Safety Month
and is a great
time to spread the message of sun, fun and UV safety to
your community.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the main cause of skin
cancer. UV rays can also damage your eyes.
Anyone can get skin cancer, but the risk is greatest for
people with:
- White or light-colored skin with freckles
- Blond or red hair
- Blue or green eyes
You can take these steps to help prevent skin cancer:
- Stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
- Use sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher.
- Cover up with long sleeves and a hat.
- Check your skin regularly for
any changes.
Please contact our office for an appointment for all of
your health care needs and concerns. Have a great, safe
summer!

Announces HIV/AIDS Strategy
On July
13, 2010, the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) was
signed, setting forth the following vision for our
domestic response to HIV/AIDS. "The United States will become a place where new HIV
infections are rare and when they do occur, every
person, regardless of age, gender, race/ethnicity,
sexual orientation, gender identity or socio-economic
circumstance, will have unfettered access to high
quality, life-extending care, free from stigma and
discrimination."
