With just days before the official kick off to summer, for many, Memorial Day weekend means an extra day off work and fun in the sun. 

Break out your flip flops and head for the mall - but also take a moment to remember the purpose behind this summery celebration.  It’s because of the men and women in the military who have put their lives on the line that we get to celebrate a weekend like this.  Please press pause this weekend and take a moment to remember those who have served, allowing us the opportunity to celebrate and spend time with those we love.

Wearing some form of identification whether medical or not can make a difference.  

If you are reading this blog post, you know all too well that things can happen in the blink of an eye.  You are probably painfully aware of the realities of medical emergencies and their unexpected nature.  You may even arm yourself with a medical ID bracelet to alert medical personnel if you have a medical condition.

Seasonal Allergies

Seasonal allergies – ahchoo! – also known as allergic rhinitis or hay fever – ahchoo! – affect more than one in five people, according to the Mayo Clinic.  They are an annoyance that can reduce quality of life by – ahchoo! – rudely interrupting your day-to-day routine.  However, some seasonal allergies are more serious than that and can cause severe allergic reactions in some people.  One of the best ways to avoid this issue is to know the common causes of spring and summer allergies.
