A lot of scam calls are being made trying to get your personal information. Know this, Medicare and Social Security will not call you. Keep checking Medicare bills against your hospital and doctor statements. We are finding a lot of errors. Do not give any identifiable information out to anyone calling you. Make sure they get no information. Hang up. If you need help call the Senior Center or the police.

Here Comes Summer. Tips for Dealing With The Heat & Humidity.

• Stay out of the heat when possible. Young & old are particularly vulnerable. Also vulnerable are people with other chronic conditions.

• If you don’t have air conditioning in your home, visit friends or relatives, go to the library or a movie.

• Eat smaller meals, but eat more frequently.

• Drink plenty of water, particularly when exercising or working outdoors.

• Take care of your skin if you are outdoors. Use sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher and wear a wide-brimmed hat.

• Seek shade or air conditioning if you begin to feel dizzy or nauseous.

• Seek medical treatment immediately if you are disoriented, have a high body temperature, are vomiting, or have stopped perspiring.

Enjoy the Fourth of July.
