Pardee UNC Health Care Hosts Free Skin Cancer Screening Day

Pardee UNC Health Care will host a free community skin cancer screening on Tuesday, May 8th, from 5:30 pm to 7:30 pm at the Mission Pardee Health Campus (second floor), located at 2775 Hendersonville Road.

The screening is open the public and Spanish interpretation services will be available free of charge. To attend, please register online at pardeehospital.org/classes-events. For more information, call 828-698-7317.

One in five Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer in their lifetime, but when found early, skin cancer is almost always treatable. Consider getting screened if you were previously diagnosed with skin cancer, have a strong family history of skin cancer, have a history of excessive sun exposure or indoor tanning, have fair skin, or have many or atypical moles.
