Attention all snowbirds!

Did you know most insurance companies require you to see a primary provider at LEAST 5 months before departing the country for sunny destinations?!

That means if you are planning to go south for the winter, NOW is the time to schedule your visit!

We will do a comprehensive medical review and assessment at your first visit, and visit again just before you leave to make sure your health care is covered while you're away!

Please ensure you check with your policy holder before booking your winter getaway!

The look I give you when you tell me you don't wear sunscreen...

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer and one of the most preventable!

The American Academy of Dermatology has a great outline of all skin cancer types:

Melanoma is much less common than the other types but much more likely to invade nearby tissue and spread to other parts of the body. Most deaths from skin cancer are caused by melanoma. How to check a suspicious spot or mole? Remember the ABCDEs of melanoma. ABCDE stands for asymmetry, border, color, diameter and evolving.

If you have any concerns about a new, or changing, spot or mole, get in to see your health care provider!

But prevention is always preferred - and 90% of melanomas can be prevented by wearing sunscreen!

So cover up, wear sunscreen, and get outside to enjoy this beautiful spring weather!
