Know the Importance about Sun Care

Skin Cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. It affects 1 in 5 Americans, however most cases are preventable.

Death rates from melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, are unfortunately higher in Nevada than nationally.

Practice sun safety by wearing sun protective clothing, applying sunscreen with an SPF 30+, wearing wide brimmed hats and UV protective sunglasses. For more sun protection tips visit Nevada Cancer Coalition.

Remember to stay hydrated! It's important to drink more water, especially in these warmer months. Learn why here.
