Melanoma Awareness Month

Melanoma is the 3^rd most common, but most deadly type of skin cancer. The American Cancer Society estimates in 2017 that over 87,000 new melanomas will be diagnosed in the United States. Fortunately, the risk of melanoma can be reduced with sun protection and when detected early, is highly treatable. May is designated as skincare awareness month and YOU can help spread the news and in turn save lives.
