Summer is officially here! And with it comes sunnier days with extended hours to expose your body's largest organ - our skin - the sun's UV rays.   Here are a few tips to minimize your sun exposure and keep your skin in tip top shape. Especially this holiday weekend during UV Awareness Month:   1.    Avoid the midday sun between the hours 10:00 am to 4:00 pm 2.    Seek a shady spot during peak hours 3.    Wear sunglasses, as well as a hat, as eyes, ears, face and neck are especially prone to overexposure   For more info on how to stay safe in the sun, click here:  https://bit.ly/4bmGuW3

TCMC ICU Nurse Angie Perez and TCMC Patient Ken Moran were at Fox 5 studios sharing with their viewers the importance of being trained in Hands-Only CPR (no breathing required!) Ken's life was saved when members of his country club jumped in to quickly perform Hands-Only CPR when he had a cardiac arrest. TCMC doctors and nurses volunteered to teach this life-saving technique to Ken's friends at El Camino Country Club over the weekend.
