After the state of Texas opened up, relaxed its COVID-19 restrictions, and more people started venturing out, the number of community-spread cases began escalating both in Texoma and statewide. Due to this recent escalation and the still-present threat of COVID-19, Electra Hospital District is urging people to continue wearing their masks and following all virus safety recommendations offered by the CDC and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.

Saturday, June 20, was the first official day of summer for 2020, and that means ample sunshine, longer days, and warmer temperatures! When the heat strikes, being active outdoors may become more challenging. Electra Memorial Hospital wants to remind everyone that staying healthy and active is still important despite the summer heat.

July is National UV Safety Month, making it the perfect time for the Electra Hospital District to help raise awareness of the risks of sun damage and spread the message of sun safety.
