Injury Prevention this Summer

☀️ July 7 is @Parachute National Injury Prevention Day.
Alberta’s Primary Care Networks want to help you make the most of summer — safely!

Whether you’re hiking, biking, swimming, or just soaking up the sun, a few small steps can go a long way in preventing injury:✅ Stay hydrated and wear sunscreen
✅ Use helmets and life jackets for outdoor adventures
✅ Watch your step on uneven trails or wet pool decks
✅ Wear supportive footwear (leave the flip-flops for the beach!)
✅ Stretch before and after activity to prevent strains

➡️ Talk to your primary care provider about more ways to move, play, and enjoy the season.
