Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month-  UV exposure is the most preventable risk factor for skin cancer. During Skin Cancer Awareness Month, the American Academy of Dermatology is asking “Do You Use Protection?” and is encouraging you to practice safe sun every time you are outdoors. Seek shade, wear protective clothing, and use a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with SPF 30+ to reduce your risk.   Everyone Needs to use protection.  No matter your age, race or gender.  The AAD’s new video, “Do you Use Protection?” reminds you about the importance of protecting your skin anytime you are outdoors.

Women’s Health Month- May is Women’s Health Month and it’s never too early or late to make healthy changes so you look and feel your best. You can take control of your health and help others in your family too!

To improve your physical and mental health, you can:

• Visit a doctor or nurse for a well-woman visit (checkup) and preventive screenings
• Get active
• Eat healthy
• Pay attention to mental health, including getting enough sleep and managing stress
• Avoid unhealthy behaviors—smoking, texting while driving, and not wearing a seat belt or bicycle helmet

Lupus Awareness Month—  May Lupus Awareness Month is an annual observance to call attention to lupus and its impact on the lives of millions of individuals and families. Check back for information about 2019 May Lupus Awareness Month.

Put On Purple Day is also held on May 17th. Wear purple and tell people why you are showing your support of lupus.

Whether it’s a purple shirt, hat, sunglasses or more, Go Purple To End Lupus and share why you’re wearing purple and support efforts to advance lupus research by either raising funds or making a donation. Tell your friends and family how they can donate and get involved. We can’t fight this disease alone, we need your help. You can be a part of the growing number of individuals, communities, media and celebrities that are making a difference this Lupus Awareness Month in the fight to end the brutal impact of this disease.
