Family Health Care Of Hoopeston issued the following announcement on May. 21.
Check and protect your skin during Melanoma Awareness Month in May. This month brings to light the importance of skin protection and early detection! With longer days in the sun, it is a good time to remind everyone to wear sun protection and to get cancer screenings.
Gibson Area Hospital and Health Services reminds you that it’s important to be pro-active. When in the sun, wear sunscreen or other skin protection including hats and long sleeves. Spend time in the shade and take an umbrella with you. The sun’s rays can cause damage even on cloudy days. Re-apply sunscreen, too!
Learn what to look for when performing a skin exam. If you suspect a mole or other growth, see a dermatologist. Don’t wait.
