Ocean County Health Department issued the following announcement.
MAY IS NATIONAL SKIN CANCER PREVENTION MONTH. LEARN MORE ABOUT AMERICA'S MOST COMMON CANCER.
With over 5 million cases diagnosed in the United States each year, skin cancer is America’s most common cancer. Fortunately, skin cancer is also one of the most preventable cancers. By sharing facts about the dangers of unprotected sun exposure and encouraging people to check their skin for warning signs, we can and will save lives.
Health care professionals can't do this work alone.
Skin Cancer Awareness Month is a time for us to speak up about the dangers of skin cancer, share the facts and help save lives. There are so many ways to get involved, including the new #SkinCheckChallenge!
