Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the U.S., but it’s almost always treatable if found early.

All are welcome, but we recommend the screening, especially for people with:
– Frequent sun or UV light exposure
– A family history of skin cancer
– A mole that has changed in shape, color or size
– A sore that won’t heal
Bring a baseball cap or visor to exchange for a new sun hat while supplies last.
