Good morning, Greensboro.

Greensboro Parks and Recreation is marking National Parks and Recreation Month with a full slate of events in July.

The activities start Tuesday, July 7 at Gillespie Golf Course with youth golf clinics and continue with Teen Night, volleyball clinics, a DJ workshop and mental health programming across the city.

UNCG’s Joy M. Dismukes was named a recipient of the Society of Research Administrators International’s Future of the Field Award after a competitive nomination process & will speak about AI tactics at SRAI’s annual meeting in Honolulu in October.

Dr. John Card of Novant Health is raising awareness about early prostate cancer screening in Forsyth County, where diagnosis and death rates exceed state averages.

He advises men to begin screening at age 45 and seek help if they notice symptoms such as poor urinary flow + blood in urine.

Greensboro activated its Orange Flag response as dangerous heat is forecast ahead of Fourth of July, and the Interactive Resource Center (which offers cooling, water, food, and medical help) is set to expand services for those at risk.

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) has released guidelines for avoiding heat stroke and other heat-related illnesses as temperatures climb, urging residents to stay hydrated, seek cool shelter, and check on neighbors if symptoms like confusion and heavy sweating occur.

Residents should monitor their health as the heat persists.
