Convenient access to medical care is vital to keeping our communities healthy. Video-enabled telehealth services allow patients to receive quality care for appropriate acute and routine health care when they need and where they need it. <\/p>\n
According to John Hopkins, there are many benefits for patients who schedule video appointments, citing \u201cimproved technology\u201d for making it easier, \u201ceven for those who don\u2019t consider themselves computer savvy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n
Same day appointments<\/a> are available at TrueCare! Call or text (760) 736-6767 to see one of our compassionate providers today.<\/h4>\n
\nThe advantages of doing a telehealth video visit with a provider include:<\/p>\n
\n- Comfort of talking to a health care professional from home<\/li>\n
- Convenience of fitting appointments into busy schedules<\/li>\n
- Reduced exposure to germs and other sicknesses, especially for chronically ill or vulnerable individuals<\/li>\n
- Opportunity to include a family member to help, listen and ask questions<\/li>\n
- Ease of follow-up visits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Doctor appointments often require time off work, transportation arrangements, or childcare for those with kids. With video visits, patients receive a quality care encounter that eliminates those scheduling challenges.<\/p>\n

Video appointments at TrueCare can be joined using a smartphone or tablet connected to a Wi-Fi network or connected to cell service. Here are some tips to ensure you have a quality experience<\/strong> with your provider:<\/p>\n\n- Check that your Browser (e.g. Safari, Google Chrome) meets the minimum requirements: iOS 14 or higher on iPhone, and Android are supported.<\/li>\n
- If your signal is poor, positioning yourself close to your router will likely improve it.<\/li>\n
- If connection is slow, try another network – sometimes connecting with or without Wi-Fi can make a difference.<\/li>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n- Switch to your internet connection: if you’re on your cellular network (not connected to Wi-Fi), connecting to Wi-Fi can help. To do this on your phone, go to Settings, tap Wi-Fi, and then select your Wi-Fi network.<\/li>\n
- Switch to cellular: If you’re on your Wi-Fi network, try switching to cellular. To do this on your phone, go to Settings, tap Wi-Fi, and then turn off Wi-Fi.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Getting Connected with iPhone and Android<\/h2>\n
To join a TrueCare video telehealth call, you must allow your mobile web browser access to your microphone and camera. <\/a>If you missed the prompts after clicking the text link you receive, download instructions below to enable access to your camera and microphone. <\/p>\n<\/i> Download step by step guide here<\/a><\/p>\nTips for Maximizing Your Experience<\/h2>\n\n- When you log in to your telehealth visit, if a TrueCare team member is not on yet, you should see the message: \u201cWe\u2019ve let [NAME of TRUECARE STAFF] know you\u2019ve arrived. They will be with you shortly.\u201d<\/li>\n
- Once you arrive to the call room, if you need translation services or our staff is having a hard time communicating with you, you will be placed on hold while an interpreter is added in your preferred language.<\/li>\n
- When minimizing the video screen for any reason, you won\u2019t hear or see your provider or medical assistant; click on your browser app to maximize the screen again.<\/li>\n
- During your video visit, you may notice moments when the provider is not on screen; this happens when your provider is looking at documents in another window. Sound will stay on, but the screen will be black during these moments.<\/li>\n
- If you\u2019re having trouble hearing your care team member, check your volume and make sure it is turned up. If you are using a headset or AirPods, ensure the power is on and you are off mute.<\/li>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n- We recommend you find a quiet, private location for your video visit.<\/li>\n
- Please remember, your safety is our top priority, and we ask that you do not conduct virtual visits while driving or operating any moving vehicle.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
General Patient FAQs<\/h4>\n\nWhat do I need to accept a video call from my provider?<\/h3>\n
You just need your smartphone or tablet; no need to download an app.
\n*Please note, if you are using an iPhone 6, some features have known issues due to the age and chipset of these devices being obsolete.<\/em><\/p>\nCan I participate in the video call on my computer?<\/h3>\n
The technology we use at TrueCare for video visits relies on text messages to initiate the connection, so your smartphone or tablet where you receive texts will be the only way to participate in a video telehealth call.<\/p>\n
Are video visits secure and private? <\/h3>\n
The video visit platform that TrueCare uses \u2013 called Doximity \u2013 is secure, encrypted, and HIPAA-compliant. There are no security risks to clicking on the text or email link you receive. Video calls are not recorded, and the links expire. If patients access a link after the expiration period, they will see a screen that tells them the link is no longer accessible and to contact their medical provider’s office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This essential nutrient strengthens the bones, blood cells, and immune system, and helps the body absorb important minerals like calcium and phosphorus.\r\n\r\nSunburn prevention is crucial for taking care of your skin \u2013 the largest organ of the body! According to the Surgeon General<\/a>, more than 1 out of every 3 Americans reports getting sunburned each year. \r\n\r\nAnyone who has returned home from a long day outside with red painful skin knows that too much sun is not a good thing. Occasional mild sunburns can be treated with aloe or other soothing ointments. Over long periods of time, frequent overexposure to the sun can cause premature skin aging and permanent skin damage, including skin cancer.<\/a> \r\n\r\nSkin damage results from two types of ultraviolet (UV) rays emitted by the sun. Ultraviolet A (UVA) rays cause wrinkling and skin aging. Ultraviolet B (UVB) rays produce sunburn. The best way to avoid skin damage from UV rays is to practice sun safety on a regular basis, including applying sunscreen when spending time outdoors.\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nCheck out our tips for sunburn relief.<\/a><\/h4>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nWhat is Sunscreen?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nSunscreen is a skin care product that uses a combination of organic chemical compounds to protect the surface of the skin from UV rays. It comes in spray or lotion formulas, and works by absorbing the UV rays, converting them into heat, and releasing back into the air. Whether using spray or lotion, sunscreen must be rubbed into the skin in order to be effective.\r\n\r\nSunblock offers a different kind of sunscreen to protect against UV skin damage. It works by using minerals such as zinc oxide or titanium oxide to form a physical barrier that prevents UV rays from getting into the skin. Because sunblock remains on the surface of the skin, it does not need to be rubbed in. Unlike sunscreens, which are invisible once applied, sunblocks often leave a layer of tint, usually white, on the skin.\r\n\r\nWhat is \u201cBroad Spectrum\u201d Sunscreen<\/h3>\r\nWhen used properly, sunscreens and sunblocks are effective at preventing skin damage. However, each product only protects against one type of UV ray. Sunscreen is designed to protect against the UVA rays that cause wrinkling and premature skin aging. Sunblock is formulated to protect against the UVB rays that cause sunburn. \r\n\r\nBroad spectrum sunscreen prevents skin damage caused by UVA and UVB rays. It works by protecting the skin\u2019s surface and deeper skin tissues in one product and is highly recommended by dermatologists. Broad spectrum protection is also available in some sunblock products. When shopping for sunscreen, be sure to look for \u201cbroad spectrum\u201d on the packaging. Otherwise, it won\u2019t protect against both types of UV rays.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nThe Federal Drug Administration regulates sunscreen to make sure they work. Watch the FDA\u2019s message for consumers.<\/a><\/h4>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat is SPF and Why is it Important?<\/h2>\r\n\r\nSPF rates the effectiveness of a sunscreen\u2019s ability to filter out UV radiation. It does this by measuring the amount of UV rays required to produce sunburn on sunscreen-protected skin compared to unprotected skin. If you applied a sunscreen rated SPF 30, it would take 30 times longer to burn the skin than if you were not wearing sunscreen.\r\nHowever, SPF does not measure how long you can stay in the sun without getting burned. Instead, it measures the total amount of exposure to the sun and how well the sunscreen protects against it. \r\n\r\nThe most important thing to know about SPF is the higher the number the more protection you get from UV rays. For example, SPF 50+ sunscreens filter 98% of UV radiation, while SPF 30 sunscreens filter 96.7%. That may seem like a negligible amount, but longer length of time in the sun equals higher exposure to UV rays \u2013 requiring more sunscreen for sunburn prevention.\r\n \r\n\r\nWhen Should You Wear Sunscreen?<\/h2>\r\n\r\nUsing sunscreen is often associated with the summer months when the sun shines brightly and days are long and hot. However, temperature and sunshine have nothing to do with sunburn risk. You can get sunburned any time of year if you stay out too long in the sun without following to sun safety precautions. You can even get burned on a cloudy day. No matter what time of year, it\u2019s a good idea to apply sunscreen when you plan to be outdoors for any length of time. \r\n\r\nMisperceptions About Sunscreen Usage<\/h2>\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, a lot of misinformation exists that contributes to incorrect use of sunscreen. To avoid painful sunburn or long-term skin damage, be aware of these common misconceptions:\r\n\r\nFalse:<\/strong> You only have to apply sunscreen once if you rub enough into your skin.\r\nTrue:<\/strong> Sunscreen wears off after a while, especially when swimming or playing in water. At minimum it should be reapplied every 2 hours.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFalse:<\/strong> A fake tan product will protect your skin from the sun.\r\nTrue:<\/strong> Rubbing lotion on your skin that creates a fake tan does not block out UV rays and won\u2019t protect against sunburn or damaged skin.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFalse:<\/strong> You don\u2019t need sunscreen when using cosmetics with an SPF rating.\r\nTrue:<\/strong> This is true only when the cosmetic has a SPF 30 rating or higher. Most do not.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFalse: <\/strong>You can stay out longer in the sun when wearing SPF 50+ than you can with SPF 30.\r\nTrue: <\/strong>SPF refers to the effectiveness of the sunscreen, not the length of time you can safely stay in the sun. Both should be reapplied as necessary.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFalse:<\/strong> You won\u2019t get sunburned if you tan easily.\r\nTruth:<\/strong> Skin darkens to protect against the damage caused by UV rays. Tanning does not eliminate the risk of skin cancer or the need to wear sunscreen.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nSunscreen FAQs:<\/h4> \r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nWhat is SPF?<\/h3>\r\nSPF stands for \u201csun protection factor.\u201d It measures how long it takes for UVB rays to burn the skin when wearing sunscreen compared to the time it takes without sunscreen. \r\n\r\nAll sunscreen products must have the SPF number on the label or container. In general:\r\n\r\n\t- SPF below 15 = low protection<\/li>\r\n\t
- SPF 15 to 29 = medium protection<\/li>\r\n\t
- SPF 30 to 49 = high protection<\/li>\r\n\t
- SPF is over 50 = very high protection<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\nDermatologists recommend using a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.\r\n\r\n
How do I know if a sunscreen or sunblock is broad spectrum?<\/h3>\r\nLook for \u201cBroad Spectrum\u201d on the packaging. Only sunscreens that pass the Federal Drug Administration Broad Spectrum<\/a> test are allowed to carry the label.\r\n\r\nAre sunscreens safe for babies and children?<\/h3>\r\nBabies under 6 months of age should have minimal exposure to the sun. When out in the sun, cover the child\u2019s skin with cool, breathable clothing or blankets. Dermatologists recommend sunblock or mineral sunscreens for children 6 months and older because they don\u2019t get absorbed into the skin. \r\n\r\nHow can I relieve the discomfort of a mild sunburn?<\/h3>\r\nPure aloe vera gel (without alcohol as an ingredient if buying in a bottle) provides relief from the pain and itching by helping the skin retain moisture. Honey, yogurt and cold compresses can also provide short-term relief. When the redness and pain\/itching subside, continue to moisturize the skin until it looks and feels normal.\r\n\r\nWhat is the difference between sunburn and sun poisoning?<\/h3>\r\nA mild sunburn typically lasts a few days. If a sunburn continues to be painful and develops blisters or a rash, it could indicate sun poisoning. Mild sun poisoning can be treated with ibuprofen, cold compresses of equal parts milk and water, aloe vera, and by drinking plenty of liquids. More severe cases can include swelling, fever, chills, nausea, and disorientation. When these symptoms occur, seek prompt medical attention. \r\n\r\nCan sunscreens affect my psoriasis or other skin condition?<\/h3>\r\nThe chemicals in sunscreens that absorb into the skin may aggravate psoriasis or other skin conditions. If you have dry skin or psoriasis, dermatologists recommend using a mineral-based sunblock that doesn\u2019t get absorbed into the skin. If your skin is prone to rosacea or allergies, avoid sunscreens that contain fragrances, preservatives, oxybenzone or PABA.\r\n\r\nHow can I prevent sunburns from reoccurring?<\/h3>\r\nPractice good sun safety every day: \r\n\r\n\t- Minimize sun exposure between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.<\/li>\r\n\t
- Apply sunscreen\/sunblock before going outside<\/li>\r\n\t
- Wear clothes that keep out the sun<\/li>\r\n\t
- Apply SPF lip balm to protect your lips<\/li>\r\n\t
- Look for shady spots to avoid the sun<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\nProtect Your Skin with a Team Who Cares<\/h2> \r\n\r\nSunscreen alone is not sunburn prevention solution, but it does help protect against the short- and long-term effects of sun exposure. If you get a sunburn that lasts more than a few days or develops signs of sun poisoning, such as swelling, blisters, fever, and dehydration, be sure to visit your provider.\r\n\r\nSame-day appointments<\/a> are available at TrueCare so you can talk with a doctor about relieving the pain and itching of a sunburn or addressing possible symptoms of sun poisoning. We also offer pediatric care<\/a> so you can talk to a pediatrician about the best sunscreen for your child and other ways to prevent sun damage. Come rain or sun, TrueCare is your healthy skin partner!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTrueCare provides a number of health services<\/a> for children, adults, and the elderly, including wellness checks.

According to the Surgeon General<\/a>, more than 1 out of every 3 Americans reports getting sunburned each year. \r\n\r\nAnyone who has returned home from a long day outside with red painful skin knows that too much sun is not a good thing. Occasional mild sunburns can be treated with aloe or other soothing ointments. Over long periods of time, frequent overexposure to the sun can cause premature skin aging and permanent skin damage, including skin cancer.<\/a> \r\n\r\nSkin damage results from two types of ultraviolet (UV) rays emitted by the sun. Ultraviolet A (UVA) rays cause wrinkling and skin aging. Ultraviolet B (UVB) rays produce sunburn. The best way to avoid skin damage from UV rays is to practice sun safety on a regular basis, including applying sunscreen when spending time outdoors.\r\n\r\nSimple and Secure with Support at Every Step<\/h2>\n

\r\n\r\nCheck out our tips for sunburn relief.<\/a><\/h4>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nWhat is Sunscreen?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\nSunscreen is a skin care product that uses a combination of organic chemical compounds to protect the surface of the skin from UV rays. It comes in spray or lotion formulas, and works by absorbing the UV rays, converting them into heat, and releasing back into the air. Whether using spray or lotion, sunscreen must be rubbed into the skin in order to be effective.\r\n\r\nSunblock offers a different kind of sunscreen to protect against UV skin damage. It works by using minerals such as zinc oxide or titanium oxide to form a physical barrier that prevents UV rays from getting into the skin. Because sunblock remains on the surface of the skin, it does not need to be rubbed in. Unlike sunscreens, which are invisible once applied, sunblocks often leave a layer of tint, usually white, on the skin.\r\n\r\n
What is \u201cBroad Spectrum\u201d Sunscreen<\/h3>\r\nWhen used properly, sunscreens and sunblocks are effective at preventing skin damage. However, each product only protects against one type of UV ray. Sunscreen is designed to protect against the UVA rays that cause wrinkling and premature skin aging. Sunblock is formulated to protect against the UVB rays that cause sunburn. \r\n\r\nBroad spectrum sunscreen prevents skin damage caused by UVA and UVB rays. It works by protecting the skin\u2019s surface and deeper skin tissues in one product and is highly recommended by dermatologists. Broad spectrum protection is also available in some sunblock products. When shopping for sunscreen, be sure to look for \u201cbroad spectrum\u201d on the packaging. Otherwise, it won\u2019t protect against both types of UV rays.\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nThe Federal Drug Administration regulates sunscreen to make sure they work. Watch the FDA\u2019s message for consumers.<\/a><\/h4>\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat is SPF and Why is it Important?<\/h2>\r\n\r\nSPF rates the effectiveness of a sunscreen\u2019s ability to filter out UV radiation. It does this by measuring the amount of UV rays required to produce sunburn on sunscreen-protected skin compared to unprotected skin. If you applied a sunscreen rated SPF 30, it would take 30 times longer to burn the skin than if you were not wearing sunscreen.\r\nHowever, SPF does not measure how long you can stay in the sun without getting burned. Instead, it measures the total amount of exposure to the sun and how well the sunscreen protects against it. \r\n\r\nThe most important thing to know about SPF is the higher the number the more protection you get from UV rays. For example, SPF 50+ sunscreens filter 98% of UV radiation, while SPF 30 sunscreens filter 96.7%. That may seem like a negligible amount, but longer length of time in the sun equals higher exposure to UV rays \u2013 requiring more sunscreen for sunburn prevention.\r\n \r\n\r\n
When Should You Wear Sunscreen?<\/h2>\r\n\r\nUsing sunscreen is often associated with the summer months when the sun shines brightly and days are long and hot. However, temperature and sunshine have nothing to do with sunburn risk. You can get sunburned any time of year if you stay out too long in the sun without following to sun safety precautions. You can even get burned on a cloudy day. No matter what time of year, it\u2019s a good idea to apply sunscreen when you plan to be outdoors for any length of time. \r\n\r\n
Misperceptions About Sunscreen Usage<\/h2>\r\n\r\nUnfortunately, a lot of misinformation exists that contributes to incorrect use of sunscreen. To avoid painful sunburn or long-term skin damage, be aware of these common misconceptions:\r\n\r\nFalse:<\/strong> You only have to apply sunscreen once if you rub enough into your skin.\r\nTrue:<\/strong> Sunscreen wears off after a while, especially when swimming or playing in water. At minimum it should be reapplied every 2 hours.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFalse:<\/strong> A fake tan product will protect your skin from the sun.\r\nTrue:<\/strong> Rubbing lotion on your skin that creates a fake tan does not block out UV rays and won\u2019t protect against sunburn or damaged skin.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFalse:<\/strong> You don\u2019t need sunscreen when using cosmetics with an SPF rating.\r\nTrue:<\/strong> This is true only when the cosmetic has a SPF 30 rating or higher. Most do not.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFalse: <\/strong>You can stay out longer in the sun when wearing SPF 50+ than you can with SPF 30.\r\nTrue: <\/strong>SPF refers to the effectiveness of the sunscreen, not the length of time you can safely stay in the sun. Both should be reapplied as necessary.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nFalse:<\/strong> You won\u2019t get sunburned if you tan easily.\r\nTruth:<\/strong> Skin darkens to protect against the damage caused by UV rays. Tanning does not eliminate the risk of skin cancer or the need to wear sunscreen.<\/strong>\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nSunscreen FAQs:<\/h4> \r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nWhat is SPF?<\/h3>\r\nSPF stands for \u201csun protection factor.\u201d It measures how long it takes for UVB rays to burn the skin when wearing sunscreen compared to the time it takes without sunscreen. \r\n\r\nAll sunscreen products must have the SPF number on the label or container. In general:\r\n
\r\n\t
How do I know if a sunscreen or sunblock is broad spectrum?<\/h3>\r\nLook for \u201cBroad Spectrum\u201d on the packaging. Only sunscreens that pass the Federal Drug Administration Broad Spectrum<\/a> test are allowed to carry the label.\r\n\r\n
Are sunscreens safe for babies and children?<\/h3>\r\nBabies under 6 months of age should have minimal exposure to the sun. When out in the sun, cover the child\u2019s skin with cool, breathable clothing or blankets. Dermatologists recommend sunblock or mineral sunscreens for children 6 months and older because they don\u2019t get absorbed into the skin. \r\n\r\n
How can I relieve the discomfort of a mild sunburn?<\/h3>\r\nPure aloe vera gel (without alcohol as an ingredient if buying in a bottle) provides relief from the pain and itching by helping the skin retain moisture. Honey, yogurt and cold compresses can also provide short-term relief. When the redness and pain\/itching subside, continue to moisturize the skin until it looks and feels normal.\r\n\r\n
What is the difference between sunburn and sun poisoning?<\/h3>\r\nA mild sunburn typically lasts a few days. If a sunburn continues to be painful and develops blisters or a rash, it could indicate sun poisoning. Mild sun poisoning can be treated with ibuprofen, cold compresses of equal parts milk and water, aloe vera, and by drinking plenty of liquids. More severe cases can include swelling, fever, chills, nausea, and disorientation. When these symptoms occur, seek prompt medical attention. \r\n\r\n
Can sunscreens affect my psoriasis or other skin condition?<\/h3>\r\nThe chemicals in sunscreens that absorb into the skin may aggravate psoriasis or other skin conditions. If you have dry skin or psoriasis, dermatologists recommend using a mineral-based sunblock that doesn\u2019t get absorbed into the skin. If your skin is prone to rosacea or allergies, avoid sunscreens that contain fragrances, preservatives, oxybenzone or PABA.\r\n\r\n
How can I prevent sunburns from reoccurring?<\/h3>\r\nPractice good sun safety every day: \r\n
\r\n\t
\r\n\r\n\r\nProtect Your Skin with a Team Who Cares<\/h2> \r\n\r\nSunscreen alone is not sunburn prevention solution, but it does help protect against the short- and long-term effects of sun exposure. If you get a sunburn that lasts more than a few days or develops signs of sun poisoning, such as swelling, blisters, fever, and dehydration, be sure to visit your provider.\r\n\r\nSame-day appointments<\/a> are available at TrueCare so you can talk with a doctor about relieving the pain and itching of a sunburn or addressing possible symptoms of sun poisoning. We also offer pediatric care<\/a> so you can talk to a pediatrician about the best sunscreen for your child and other ways to prevent sun damage. Come rain or sun, TrueCare is your healthy skin partner!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nTrueCare provides a number of health services<\/a> for children, adults, and the elderly, including wellness checks.
