SKIN CANCER DOESN’T WAIT. NEITHER SHOULD YOU. IT’S WHY WE’VE BUILT THE LARGEST CANCER CARE NETWORK IN THE STATE.

It’s no secret that Northern New England is best experienced outdoors, but all that sun can lead to a higher risk of melanoma.

When detected early, melanoma is a curable disease. At MaineHealth, we take a team approach to detecting and treating skin cancer, with primary care physicians, dermatologists, surgeons and oncologists all within the same network.

Because more specialists means better access to the best possible care when you need it most.

Talk with your doctor if you notice skin irregularities and about skin cancer prevention strategies today.
