☀️ We’ve been seeing more students out enjoying the sun lately—and we love that for you!

Spending time outside is great for your mood and overall well-being, but while you’re soaking up the sun, don’t forget to take care of your skin too.

Enjoy the sunshine, just do it safely. If you’re dealing with a bad burn or symptoms of sun poisoning, we’re here for you! 💚🐾

We have been lucky enough to partner with for nearly 20 years now with their pediatric physicians. These doctors generally rotate through our clinic every 4 weeks as they complete their adolescent medicine rotations. They are extremely bright and compassionate healthcare providers and we welcome their critical care experience in our office 🏥

This semester we will continue to introduce each doctor at the start of their rotation, so that Loyola students are able to put faces to names of providers they saw (as these doctors are not on our staff page on website). Welcome Dr. Barootkoob 💚🤍!
