Next, in this newsletter we want to thank all of the supporters, donors, and contributors who made our Visitor Center project possible. Through your generous contributions, we came together and accomplished something that will serve our business community for years to come. Finally, summer is in full swing! We are coming out of record numbers of attendance from the Fremont Toyota Lander Brewfest and are pivoting to the rest of summer. As the tourists roll in, remember to do your part to keep them in our community and show them what Lander hospitality is all about!

Your Home Health & Hospice Connection across Fremont County
Bringing Quality Healthcare Home Frontier Home Health & Hospice | Issue 07.2018
Frontier Home Health & Hospice is committed to providing quality home health and hospice care to our patient and their families by focusing on their unique needs and goals. We are honored to be a trusted part of their care when quality of life matters most. July represents Independence Day (July 4) and the height of summer activities. Often celebrated with picnics, fireworks, the American flag, and lots of family time, Independence Day is a great time to thank our veterans for the privilege of having special days to enjoy our freedoms. This issue we shared hydration and sun safety tips, as well as We Honor Veteran's tips on how to honor veterans' service. Check it out!
STAY HYDRATED
SUN SAFETY
Hydration is key to staying and feeling healthy. Your body has an intricate system of keeping fluids and electrolytes balanced. Proper hydration is a main component of this process.
There are many ways to be physically active outdoors — swimming, hiking, gardening, walking, dancing, or playing tennis.
As we age, this regulation system may no longer function properly on its own, making dehydration more common. Adequate hydration minimizes this risk.
Here are a few tips for staying hydrated: Drink at least 48-64 fluid ounces daily. Drink throughout the day, rather than all at once. Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Drink a glass of water before exercising or doing outside activities. Drink a full glass of water when taking medication. Don't wait for thirst to replenish water Know dehydration symptoms.
No matter which activity you choose, be sure to play it safe in the sun!
Here are a few tips to keep your skin healthy: Limit your time in the sun. Don't be fooled by cloudy skies. Use sunscreen & reapply often. Wear protective clothing. Drink plenty of liquids. Check your medications for possible side effects from sun exposure.
Contact us at 332-2922 or 856-4127 for your FREE copy of Sun Safety and Hydration tip sheets. We also offer free community education.

Honoring Veterans' Service | General Questions for Healthcare Professionals
Honoring Veterans' Service
www.wehonorveterans.org
American’s Veterans have done everything asked of them in their mission to serve our country and it is never too late to give them a hero’s welcome home. Often their healthcare providers, including their Hospice care team, may provide the last opportunity for Veterans to feel that their service was not in vain, and that they are appreciated. Simple acts of gratitude at the end-of-life can make up for a lack of appreciation or recognition during the Veteran’s lifetime, especially for those Veterans who were never welcomed home or thanked for their service.
We Honor Veteran's tips on engaging, honoring and recognizing the Veterans we serve: Give Veterans an opportunity to tell their stories. Respect Veterans’ service, their feelings, and any suggestions they might offer. Thank Veterans for their service to our country. When approaching Veterans for their participation, consider bringing another Veteran with you. Show appreciation for the families of Veterans. Always be sincere, caring, compassionate and ready and able to listen to what a Veteran or his or her family member has to share about the situation they are dealing with. Be supportive and non-judgmental and always validate their feelings and concerns. Be honest, sincere, caring and respectful. Accept, without judgment, the Veteran as he/she is. It might take longer for some Veterans to trust you. Be patient and listen. Expect the Veteran’s sharing to occur over a period of time.
General Questions for Health Professionals to use with Veterans
We are a proud member of
Would it be okay if I talked with you about your military experience? When and where do you/did you serve and in what branch? What type of work do you/did you do while in the service?
