May is National Skin Cancer Awareness Month

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States, but the good news is that it’s also one of the most preventable. Taking simple steps like wearing sunscreen daily, seeking shade, and scheduling routine skin checks can make a big difference in protecting your health.

We encourage everyone to stay mindful of any new or changing spots on your skin and to reach out to your provider with any concerns. Early detection is key!

At Chapel Hill Internal Medicine, we’re proud to honor the diversity, resilience, and innovation that AAPI individuals bring to our workplace, our industry, and our community.
This month, we also recognize pioneers whose work has shaped healthcare and science:�• Yuan-Cheng Fung, known as the “father of modern biomechanics,” revolutionized how we understand the mechanics of living tissues.�• Margaret Chung, the first known Chinese American female physician, broke barriers in medicine and advocated for public health.�• Tetsuzo (Tetsuko) Akutsu, a biomedical engineer, played a key role in developing early artificial heart technology.
Their legacies remind us of the importance of representation, perseverance, and innovation.
We are committed to fostering an environment where every voice is valued, every story is respected, and everyone has the opportunity to thrive. This month and beyond, we encourage learning, listening, and meaningful support for AAPI communities.
