 Sun Safety

Protect Yourself and Your Family All Year Round

  1. Do not sunbathe.
  2. Avoid unnecessary sun exposure, especially between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., the peak hours for harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
  3. When outdoors, use sunscreens rated SPF 15 or higher.  Apply them liberally, uniformly, and frequently.
  4. When exposed to sunlight, wear protective clothing such as long pants, long-sleeved shirts, broad-brimmed hats, and UV-protective sunglasses.
  5. Stay away from artificial tanning devices.
  6. Teach your children good sun protection habits at an early age: The damage that leads to adult skin cancers starts in childhood.
  7. Examine your skin head to toe at least once every three months.

Welcome to our newly redesigned and formatted web site.  If you have any questions or comments please feel free to let us know.

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

North Big Horn Hospital now has Telemedicine equipment available through Eastern Montana Telemedicine and Deaconess Billings Clinic.  The hospital received the equipment through an Oat Grant in 2001.  This interactive videoconferencing allows the hospital save money by reducing travel cost and time, and also increasing efficient use of work time.  It also allows us to host meetings with other sites and medical consultation with doctors in other are areas of Wyoming and Montana. 

 

One of the conferences we hold on a quarterly basis is a Shriners Clinic.  With the help of Eastern Montana Telemedicine, a connection is created with North Big Horn Hospital and Shriners Hospital in Salt Lake City.  Patients from surrounding areas can attend follow-up visits, which may only last 15 minutes without traveling to Salt Lake.

 

With this technology we are able to transmit real-time video, audio and medical images.  With this we can provide:

  • Physician CME Programs
  • Nursing Education
  • Radiology and Laboratory Topics
  • ACLS
  • EMT Training
  • Physician Consultation
  • Business Meetings
