🥵 It’s that time of year again…

The temperature climbs, the humidity sets in, and suddenly that “quick project” outside turns into an all-day adventure.

Every summer, we respond to people who simply underestimated the heat. Whether you’re mowing the lawn, working construction, gardening, attending sporting events, or enjoying a day on the lake, heat-related illnesses can sneak up on anyone.

A few things to remember:

☀️ If you’re thirsty, you’re already behind on hydration.
☀️ Take breaks before you feel like you need them.
☀️ Don’t try to “push through it.”
☀️ Check on family members, neighbors, and friends who may be spending time outdoors.

Most importantly, listen to your body. Feeling dizzy, weak, nauseated, unusually tired, or developing a headache may be your body’s way of telling you it’s time to cool down and rehydrate.

Summer is meant to be enjoyed. A little preparation can keep a fun day from turning into an ambulance ride.

Stay safe, stay cool, and enjoy the sunshine! 🚑🌞

🚐 DID YOU KNOW? 🚐

When most people think of Lehighton Ambulance Association, they think of 911 emergencies and ambulances. But that’s only part of what we do.

Our Paratransit Division helps provide safe, reliable transportation for community members who may not be able to use traditional transportation options.

Paratransit services are often used by individuals who:
♿ Use wheelchairs or mobility devices
🏥 Need transportation to medical appointments
🩺 Require assistance getting to treatments such as dialysis, rehabilitation, or specialist visits
🚶 Have mobility limitations that make standard transportation difficult

Our Paratransit team helps ensure patients can get where they need to go safely, comfortably, and on time. Whether it’s a routine medical appointment or ongoing treatment, these transports play an important role in helping people maintain their health and independence.

While these vehicles may not respond to 911 emergencies, the service they provide is just as important to many members of our community.

Please join us in thanking our Paratransit staff for the care, compassion, and dedication they bring to our patients every day.

🏍️☀️ Warmer weather means more motorcycles on our roads.

For many riders, a motorcycle isn’t just transportation—it’s a passion and a way of life. Unfortunately, every year we respond to crashes involving motorcycles, many of which could have been prevented with a little extra awareness from everyone sharing the road.

🚗 Drivers:
• Look twice before changing lanes or turning.
• Give motorcycles extra following distance.
• Check blind spots carefully.
• Avoid distractions behind the wheel.

🏍️ Riders:
• Wear proper protective gear.
• Ride within your abilities.
• Stay visible and anticipate that other drivers may not see you.

A motorcycle may be smaller, but the person riding it is someone’s spouse, parent, child, friend, or neighbor.

This summer, let’s work together to keep everyone safe. A few extra seconds of attention can make all the difference.
