Seasonal Heat Readiness for Tuolumne County |
Posted by: thepinetree on 06/10/2014 07:15 PM
|
Sonora, CA... As we enter the hot season for the Sierra foothills, it is time to prepare by checking water stores, supplies of important medications and air conditioning systems in homes and businesses. If you know of neighbors or friends who might benefit from assistance during the coming hot weather, this might be a good time to check on them. It is important to wear appropriate clothing during hot weather, especially for children. Wearing a hat and using sunscreen is a good idea if you plan to be outside. If you are unaccustomed to working or exercising in hot weather, it is important to pace yourself, drink 16 to 32 ounces of liquids every hour if you must be active in the heat, and include some foods, juices or sports drinks to replace electrolytes (salts in the blood)....

San Andreas, Ca...Calaveras Public Health Services is recruiting residents to be trained as Community Health Workers. Community Health Workers [CHW] guide adults in learning chronic condition self-management skills. The Community Health Workers conduct workshops in the areas where they live. “We are looking for adults that have a chronic condition or a partner/family member caring for someone with a chronic condition to become the CHWs,” stated Dr. Dean Kelaita, County Health Officer. The participants will learn the Healthier Living model developed by Stanford University. The strength of the model is that the CHWs are people in the community who also have chronic conditions and have been trained in self-management skills that include physical activity, reducing stress, healthy eating and communication with your doctor. This is an opportunity for local residents to gain personal skills in managing a chronic condition and support building skills with others... |
