| Poison Ivy Awareness 🌿

Spending time outdoors is one of the best parts of summer, but it's important to watch out for poison ivy. Contact with the plant's oil can cause an itchy, uncomfortable rash that may last for several weeks if left untreated.

Learn to recognize poison ivy and avoid touching it when hiking, gardening, or spending time in wooded or grassy areas. Wearing long sleeves, long pants, gloves, and closed-toe shoes can help protect your skin.

If you think you've come into contact with poison ivy:
🧼 Wash your skin with soap and water as soon as possible.
👕 Wash clothing, shoes, and even pets that may have been exposed.
🚫 Avoid scratching the rash to reduce irritation and help prevent infection.
❄️ Cool showers, wet compresses, calamine lotion, or oatmeal baths may help relieve itching and discomfort.
💊 For severe itching or swelling, your healthcare provider may recommend antihistamines, steroid creams, or other medications.

Seek medical attention if the rash is severe, spreads to your face or eyes, causes difficulty breathing, or shows signs of infection such as pus, increasing redness, or fever.

Stay safe while enjoying the outdoors this summer! 🌞

World Lung Cancer Day 🤍

Today, on World Lung Cancer Day, we stand together to raise awareness about lung cancer, honor those affected by the disease, and encourage early detection.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide, but when found early, treatment is often more effective. Knowing the signs and understanding your risk can make a difference.

Common symptoms may include:
🫁 A persistent or worsening cough
🫁 Shortness of breath
🫁 Chest pain
🫁 Coughing up blood
🫁 Unexplained weight loss or fatigue

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms or have concerns about your lung health, don't wait—talk to your healthcare provider. Quitting smoking, avoiding secondhand smoke, and staying up to date with recommended lung cancer screenings can help reduce your risk.

Together, we can raise awareness, support those impacted by lung cancer, and encourage lifesaving early detection.

What a fun night at Thursday in the Square! 💙

St. James Hospital was proud to sponsor Kids Night and spend the evening with so many wonderful children and families in our community.

Our Teddy Bear Clinic was a big hit as kids got to bandage up their own teddy bear, take home a stethoscope and hospital bag filled with goodies, learn about emergency care, enjoy free snacks, and test their skills with our life-sized Operation game.

We love opportunities like this to connect with our community, make healthcare a little less scary for our youngest visitors, and remind families that we’re here for them every step of the way.

A big thank you to HPG for putting together another fantastic Thursday in the Square. We had so much fun and can’t wait to do it again! 🧸🏥✨

What a fantastic day celebrating the incredible people who make St. James Hospital such a special place! 🎉💙

Our annual Employee Picnic was filled with smiles and a little friendly competition as employees formed teams to compete in the traditional egg relay race and tug-of-war. It was a wonderful opportunity to step away from our daily routines and celebrate all that we accomplish together.

We also had the privilege of recognizing team members for their years of dedicated service, honoring milestones ranging from 5 years to an incredible 45 years. Your commitment, compassion, and dedication to our patients and community are truly appreciated.

A special congratulations goes to Lindsey Vogel, Director of Imaging, who was named our Manager of the Year! Lindsey’s leadership, commitment to excellence, and unwavering support of her team make her incredibly deserving of this recognition.

Thank you to everyone who helped organize this wonderful event and to all of our employees for the passion and care you bring to St. James Hospital every day. We are grateful for each and every one of you! ❤️

| Cellulitis & Skin Infections 🩹

Cellulitis is a common bacterial skin infection that can cause redness, swelling, warmth, and pain. It often develops when bacteria enter the skin through a cut, scrape, insect bite, or other break in the skin. While cellulitis can usually be treated successfully with antibiotics, early treatment is important to help prevent the infection from spreading.

Watch for symptoms such as redness that spreads, swelling, warmth, tenderness, pain, fever, chills, or drainage from the affected area. If these symptoms develop or worsen, contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible.

To help prevent skin infections:
🧼 Wash cuts, scrapes, and insect bites with soap and water.
🩹 Keep wounds clean, dry, and covered until they heal.
🖐️ Check your skin regularly for new cuts, sores, or signs of infection.
💊 If you're prescribed antibiotics, take the full course exactly as directed—even if you start feeling better.
🛌 If you develop cellulitis, rest the affected area and, if possible, raise it above the level of your heart to help reduce swelling and discomfort.

People with diabetes, poor circulation, or weakened immune systems should pay extra attention to their skin and seek medical care promptly if they notice redness, swelling, or other signs of infection.

Taking care of your skin is one of the best ways to protect your overall health.
