SPRINGFIELD – As the summer months begin and we start to spend more time in the sunlight, it’s important to remember the danger our skin is faced with. Prior to COVID-19, the rates for skin cancer diagnosis had been steadily climbing over the last 15 years.
Screening and early diagnosis remain the most effective ways to improve health outcomes in monitoring and in treating a skin cancer diagnosis.
With this emphasis on screenings, Mercy Health – Springfield Regional Cancer Center has partnered with Buckeye Dermatology to hold at SPOTme Skin Cancer Screening on Thursday, July 15.
