As temperatures rise and families flock to pools, lakes and beaches, it's the perfect time to talk about an important—and often misunderstood—summer safety concern: dry drowning (also known as secondary drowning). While rare, dry drowning can be serious, and understanding the signs can help you act quickly and confidently if something seems off after water play.

As temperatures rise and outdoor activities fill our calendars, protecting your skin should remain a top health priority. More than 5.4 million cases of basal and squamous cell skin cancers are diagnosed each year in the U.S., along with nearly 100,000 new cases of melanoma, according to the American Cancer Society. The good news? The majority of these cases are preventable with consistent, evidence-based sun safety practices. This summer, protect your and your family’s skin with simple, smart strategies.
