Staying hydrated during the summer is about more than just drinking water—it’s also about fueling your body with the right foods. ☀️💧

As temperatures rise, our registered dietitians remind everyone to:
🥤 Drink fluids throughout the day—don't wait until you're thirsty.
🍉 Eat water-rich fruits and vegetables like watermelon, peaches, grapes, and cucumbers.
🥗 Choose lighter, balanced meals to help your body handle the heat.
🏃 If you're active outdoors, increase your fluids and replenish with electrolytes when needed.

Knowing the signs of heat-related illness is just as important. Heavy sweating, dizziness, muscle cramps, nausea, and weakness can all be signs of heat exhaustion. If symptoms become severe or someone has a temperature of 103°F or higher, seek emergency medical care immediately.

A few simple habits can help you stay safe, healthy, and active all summer long.

We are so proud of Sarah and Tristin, two of Saint Joe’s amazing new graduate nurses, for completing Intermountain Health’s Nurse Residency program! The Nurse Residency is a structured, evidence-based, yearlong transition-to-practice program that provides new nurses with mentorship, education, and hands-on experience to complement unit orientation and preceptorship. Residency builds competence, confidence, and long-term success in the nursing role. Tristin and Sarah presented their evidence-based practice final project to our leaders and their peers, and they knocked it out of the park! We celebrate and congratulate them for all their hard work and for their commitment to providing the best care for our patients.

The Front Range is in for some extreme heat this weekend. Whether you're heading to the park, hitting the trails, or spending time with family, taking a few simple precautions can help prevent heat-related illness.

Swipe through for three heat safety tips to help you stay safe:
💧 Stay ahead of dehydration by drinking water throughout the day.
🧢 Wear light-colored clothing, take breaks in the shade, and avoid strenuous activity during the hottest hours.
🌡️ Know the early signs of heat exhaustion—and when it's time to call 911 for heat stroke.

Young children, older adults, people with chronic health conditions, and anyone working or exercising outdoors are especially vulnerable during extreme heat.

Stay cool, check on friends, family and neighbors, and have a safe weekend. ❤️
