MEDICAL ASSISTANT OF THE MONTH
We’re excited to celebrate Medical Assistant Sharon Frederick’s 40-year work anniversary! Sharon has performed multiple roles through her long career and is currently serving as the team lead for medical records.
When asked about her favorite memories over her 40 years of service, Sharon said, “I have encountered so many wonderful people, from coworkers, supervisors, upper management and patients. We have weathered so many changes. The thing that really stands out to me is the way Evernorth Care Group treated employees throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. I was always telling my friends that Evernorth was so professional and caring. It was the ‘Year of Fear,’ and we were treated well and the education was so impressive.”
Congratulations, Sharon! And thank you!

How high heat affects your skin:
High heat can lead to more sweating – and that can cause an acne breakout.
+
+
+
What’s the difference between UVA and UVB?
There are two types of sun rays that can cause damage to your skin.

PATIENT TESTIMONIAL
“Bukky Aremu, NP in dermatology, is very welcoming and upbeat, and she has a great attitude. I felt very comfortable in her presence and enjoyed her personality. Every person I came in contact with at Evernorth Care Group was super friendly and helpful.”
How to schedule a dermatologist visit:
Practicing skin safety
in the summer —
and beyond.
Sun rays can penetrate deep into the skin, accelerating your skin’s aging effects.
Chlorine can dry your skin, causing itching, tightness, and even rashes.
Dehydration can lead to dry and cracked skin, and it is a cause of premature wrinkles.
+
+
+
+
Five questions to ask your dermatologist:
Can you tell me if you see any signs of skin damage, and if so, where?
Do any of my moles present a cause for concern right now?
What is the best sunscreen to use to protect myself and my family?
What other steps can I take to help prevent skin cancer?
+
+
+
+
Is there anything I should do during extreme heat conditions to stay safe?
+
Dermatologist tips for choosing sunscreen:
Find sunscreen that is “broad spectrum” to protect skin from both aging effects (UVA) and burning rays (UVB) of the sun.
Choose an SPF (“sun protection factor”) of at least 30.
Select “water-resistant” sunscreen, and reapply every two hours or after leaving the water.
+
+
+
UVA rays can deeply penetrate the skin, leading to wrinkling and age spots.
UVB rays hit the surface of the skin, and this can lead to burning and damage.
1.
2.
Why choose Evernorth Care Group for your dermatology visit:
Our team of highly skilled dermatology nurse practitioners (NPs) will perform a thorough head-to-toe exam of your skin to check for skin abnormalities or early signs of cancer.
+
We also offer cosmetic services and treatments to keep skin feeling and looking fresh, including mole removal, scar revision and premium skin care product recommendations.
+
We offer onsite pharmacies so you can fill a prescription during your visit if necessary.
+
Our dermatology NP’s will not only discuss your health history with you during your visit but will keep your entire medical team informed, leading to more- connected care.
