Screening!
Visit CARES Senior Health Clinic located at the CARES Claude Pepper Senior Center, 6640 Van Buren St. in New Port Richey on "Melanoma Monday” May 5, 2014 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Medical professionals from New Image Dermatology, Gulfcoast Dermatology, Dr. Brian Johnson and Dr. Hsuan Shu Lai will provide screenings on a first come first serve basis.
Melanoma Monday is the first Monday in May which is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. Each year, skin cancer will affect 1 in 5 Americans, and more than 3.5 million new cases in 2 million people are diagnosed. Fortunately, many forms of skin cancer are highly treatable – the key is catching them early. Melanoma Monday serves as a reminder to take care of your skin and get a visual inspection (screening) of moles, freckles and other marks by a medical professional. A screening does not take much time and no blood work is conducted.
