Free skin cancer screenings at Hulston Cancer Center

CoxHealth Hulston Cancer Center will hold free skin cancer screenings 8 a.m. – noon, Saturday, May 2, in suite 100 of the Hulston Cancer Center, 3850 S. National.

If you are between 20 and 40, the American Cancer Society recommends having your skin examined by a physician every three years. If you are over 40, a skin exam should be performed annually. A self-exam should be done monthly.

There is no fee for the Hulston Cancer Center screening, but appointments are required and you must not be under the care of a dermatologist. Register by April 30 by calling 269-INFO.
