Skin cancer awareness

Alliance Family Physicians is proud to participate in Skin  Cancer Prevention Month. During the month of May, join us in taking  action to prevent skin cancer and reduce the risk of UV damage.

Please be sure to make an appointment at least once a year for a complete skin cancer evaluation.

Take simple steps today to protect your skin:

• Stay out of the sun as much as possible between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• Use sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher. Put on sunscreen every 2 hours and after you swim or sweat.
• Cover up with long sleeves and a hat.
• Check your skin regularly for changes.
