Quick Health Tips: July 2025 Issue
July: Skin Health and UV Awareness Month

Summer's here — bringing longer days, warmer weather and plenty of time outdoors. While sunlight helps your body produce vital Vitamin D, overexposure can damage your skin in lasting ways. The good news? Research shows that many common sun-related issues, from painful sunburns to premature wrinkles to skin cancer, are largely preventable with the right protection. Learn more from our Summa Health experts.

Stroke awareness month
As temperatures climb, so does your risk for heat-related skin conditions like sunburn, sun poisoning and heat rash. While they're all triggered by sun and heat exposure, each one looks — and feels — a little different. Learn how to spot and treat them.
Get sun smart
Stroke mimics
Even with the best intentions, most of us have experienced sunburn at some point. But just a few burns — or even one — can do more harm than you think. The risks go far beyond temporary redness and discomfort. Discover how protecting your skin now could prevent serious health issues later.
Burn be gone
Advanced stroke care
The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends a monthly head-to-toe self-exam to help catch suspicious spots before they become serious. When found early, most skin cancers are highly treatable — and often curable. Get tips for protecting your skin and knowing what to look for.
