Notes from Nursing

     With summer right around the corner, we would like to remind everyone about the importance of protecting your skin.  Please be sure to apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 when out in the sun.  Sunscreen should be applied at least thirty minutes before sun exposure.  Remember to reapply per packaging directions.  A wide brimmed hat and sunglasses will also help protect you from harmful UV rays.  Certain medications can also cause increased sensitivity to sunlight.  Please also let staff know if you would like to take a resident outside so that sunscreen and proper clothing are available to protect the resident.  Thank you.
