It’s summertime! As exciting as the hottest season can be, it also means Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is in full force. UV rays are a type of low-energy radiation that is emitted by the sun. It’s invisible to the human eye because of its very short wavelength. But make no mistake, these low-energy rays pack a powerful punch, and overexposure to UV radiation can lead to serious health issues, including various types of cancer.

Ever wonder why your head starts to hurt after a long day in the sun? Or why you might feel dizzy and lightheaded more often in warmer temperatures? With the increase in temperatures during the summer comes an increase in sweat and dehydration which causes headaches, and in some cases, a migraine headache. If not taken seriously, the summer sun can be dangerous. Since June is Migraine and Headache Awareness Month, it’s the perfect time to prepare for the summer and raise awareness on the effects of heat and why headaches and migraines are more common in the summer. Join us this month as we discuss headaches, avoiding headaches, and ways to keep your cool this summer.
Between 2019 and 2030, the number of people aged 60 years or over is projected to grow by 38% (1 billion to 1.4 billion), globally outnumbering youth. This increase will be the greatest and the most rapid in the developing world. With this increasing number should come an increase in attention to the specific challenges affecting older persons. Each year, hundreds and thousands of adults over the age of 60 are mistreated by family members, strangers, healthcare providers, caregivers, and/or friends. The abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation of the elderly is an unspoken, prevalent issue amongst seniors nationwide and internationally.
Men's mental health often goes overlooked. It's not discussed as much as women's mental health, and it's not talked about in the same way either. Too often, men are expected to "man up" and deal with their feelings in silence. As a result, more and more men are suffering from depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses than ever before, and most continue to not speak up about it.
