Many people think an anesthesia provider's job ends when a procedure is complete, but your care continues well into the recovery process.

As you wake up from anesthesia, your anesthesia team closely monitors your breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen levels, and overall comfort. They also help manage common side effects, such as pain or nausea, and ensure you're recovering safely before you're transferred from the recovery area.

Recovery is an important part of the surgical journey, and your anesthesia team is there to support you every step of the way.

What Happens Before You Receive Anesthesia? 🩺

Before your procedure begins, your anesthesia provider will review your medical history, discuss your anesthesia plan, answer your questions, and perform a final safety check.

These conversations help ensure your care is personalized to your health needs and that you feel informed before entering the operating room.

Patient safety starts long before surgery begins.

July is UV Safety Awareness Month ☀️

Summer is the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors, but it's also important to protect your skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Too much sun exposure can increase your risk of sunburn, premature skin aging, and skin cancer. Taking a few simple precautions can help you stay safe while making the most of the season.

Here are a few ways to protect yourself this summer:
☀️ Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and reapply every two hours, or more often if you're swimming or sweating.
🧢 Wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses with UV protection, and lightweight clothing that covers exposed skin.
💧 Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, especially during hot or humid days.
🌳 Seek shade when possible, particularly between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun's rays are strongest.

Protecting your skin is an important part of your overall health. Healthy habits like sun protection, hydration, and preventive care can help you enjoy the summer while supporting your long-term well-being.
