Skin Cancer Awareness

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in this country and more than 60,000 people are diagnosed with the condition each year. Overexposure to ultra violet light from the sun and sun beds has led to an increase in the number of cases of skin cancer. Please remember that effective precautions are all that is needed to reduce the number of skin cancers and that many skin cancers can be treated if caught early enough.
