Taking the Sting out of a Sunburn

The American Academy of Dermatology (2020) recommends these 6 tips for treating a sunburn:

Take frequent cool baths or showers to ease the pain
Use a moisturizer that includes aloe-Vera to help sooth sunburned skin.
Consider taking ibuprofen to help decrease swelling, redness and discomfort.
Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration
If your skin blisters, let the blisters heal. Do not pop the blisters, as they will help protect your skin heal and protect you from infection.
Protect sunburned skin while it heals by wearing clothes that cover skin when in the sun.

Remember that a result of skin getting too much exposure from the sun’s ultraviolet rays can affect long-lasting harm to the skin and increase your risk for getting skin cancer.

Celebrating Community at the 2025 Antique Festival

October 13, 2025

On Sunday, October 5, several Pomerene employees and their family members marched in the 63rd Holmes County Antique Festival Grand Parade through historic downtown Millersburg. The Holmes County Antique Festival is more than a parade. Over its two-day run, the event offers antique markets, arts and crafts, live music, classic car shows, and family-friendly activities. At Pomerene, we believe that being part of our community means showing up, not just in healthcare, but in shared moments and local traditions. We’re proud to walk alongside our neighbors, celebrate our county’s heritage, and show our appreciation to our community. Thank you to every team member who joined us. You made our presence personal.
