The Kewaunee County Public Health Department is partnering with Prevea Health to offer a free skin cancer screening event aimed at raising awareness and promoting early detection.
The screening will take place Saturday, April 11, from 8:30 a.m. to noon at the Luxemburg Health Center. Medical professionals will provide spot checks, review warning signs of skin cancer and offer guidance on protecting skin from harmful ultraviolet exposure.
Health officials note that skin cancer affects an estimated one in five people during their lifetime, making prevention and early diagnosis critical.
“The single best way to protect yourself is to use sunscreen any time that you are outdoors,” said Cindy Kinnard, director of the Kewaunee County Public Health Department. “The sun is out year-round, so we need UV protection in every season.”
The event is open to residents of all ages in Kewaunee County and surrounding communities. Appointments are required and can be scheduled by calling 920-388-7160.
