The American  Academy of Dermatology has designated the first Monday of May as “Melanoma  Monday.”  Melanoma is a potentially fatal form of skin cancer that has a high  cure rate if detected early.  Examining your own skin regularly can help ensure  that skin cancer is diagnosed in its most treatable stage.  For skin cancer  screening resources and to learn about proper skin self-exam techniques visit: www.melanomamonday.org.  Also pick  up your copy of the "Be Active" newsletter this month at the Active Sports  Complex and learn the tips to becoming sunscreen savvy!
