We're all eager to be outdoors soaking up the sunshine, but it's also a good time to evaluate how sun exposure has affected our skin. According to the National Cancer Institute, each year about one million Americans develop skin cancer, the most common type of cancer in the U.S.
Monongahela Valley Hospital’s medical staff will provide free skin cancer screenings Wednesday, May 9, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Finleyville Community Center at 3547 Marion Avenue in Finleyville. Registration is required by calling 724-258-1282.
MVH's Dermatologist Paul J. Ruschak, M.D., along with staff from MVH's walk-in health care site Healthy Directions at Giant Eagle, will screen for all types of skin cancer. The staff will also provide information on preventing skin cancer and on treatment options, if needed.
