Studies show that long-term exposure to bright sunlight may increase the risk of cataracts and growths on the eye, including cancer. UV rays reflected off sand and water can cause eyes to sunburn, potentially resulting in temporary blindness in just a few hours. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) reminds the public of the importance of shielding eyes from the sun’s harmful rays with 100% UV-blocking sunglasses and broad-brimmed hats.

Today, 6th-8th grade students from the Greater St. Matthews Baptist Church STEM Camp in Hitchcock, TX visited GCHD for Career Day. During the visit, students had the opportunity to meet with CHW nurses and COM nursing students, participate in environmental demonstrations on air and water, engage with epidemiologists to learn about outbreak investigations, take a tour of the dental clinic, interact with WIC employees for a nutrition quiz, and learn CPR from GAAA staff.
