As we enjoy the summer sun, let's remember to protect our skin. Wear sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats to stay safe from harmful UV rays. Your skin will thank you!

The summer heat can oftentimes cause strain on a person's health. Great ways to combat these hot months are to step away from your city’s heat-trapping concrete, find a shaded green area, and stay social! In addition, try to apply sunscreen and drink enough water if you plan on being in the sun for extended periods. Stay cool and safe this summer.

Schedule a health checkup with us to ensure you are ready for the summer. https://garyburnsteinclinic.org/
