[BLOG] Protect Your Skin This Summer
Summer means more time outdoors at the beach, pool, park, or even just in the backyard. While sunshine can feel great, the ultraviolet (UV) rays it brings with it can silently damage your skin every time you step outside unprotected. Dr. Dalal is sharing ways to protect your skin this summer while enjoying the outdoors.

General Announcements
Update: Lab Corp Bellingham Location
LabCorp has added more staff to the Bellingham location to allow for improved hours and more service appointments.
From Express Scripts & Costco
Several insurance companies have cut their contracts with Express Scripts Home Delivery and will now be through Costco Home Delivery.
For those insurance companies who have cut contracts with Express Scripts, Express Scripts has sent all prescriptions to Costco, but it has come to our attention they did not communicate that to patients.
For patients impacted by this, please call Costco as soon as possible to confirm your shipping address, phone number, and allergies. Once this is confirmed, Costco will get started on filling prescriptions.

Dr. Laura James, the only board-certified naturopathic oncologist in Whatcom, Island and Skagit counties, will be adding a Summer Integrative Oncology Clinic (in person) on Fridays through August 28.
