Learn About Skin Cancer At Area Seminars

July 13, 2009

If you are interested in learning more about skin cancer risk factors, symptoms, types, treatments available and tips to help prevent the disease, there are free seminars coming up in Jay, Atmore and Pensacola.

Statistics show that skin cancer claims the life of one person every hour in the United States. More than 1 million new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year, representing the most commonly diagnosed malignancy – surpassing lung, breast, colorectal and prostate cancer.

Yet, through early detection and preventative measures, most skin cancers are curable. Baptist Health Care’s wellness programs – Get Healthy Pensacola! and GoldenCare – are committed to providing you with the resources and education to have safe fun in the sun this summer.

Thursday, July 16 – Baptist Medical Park – Nine Mile
