Head, neck and skin cancer screenings

The Armes Family Cancer Care Center, a division of Blanchard Valley Health System, will offer head, neck and skin cancer screenings to the community on Thursday, Aug. 9, from 1 to 4:30 p.m. These screenings can be scheduled by appointment only at 419-429-6428, and individuals may schedule one or both screenings. These cancer screenings will take place at The Armes Family Cancer Care Center located at 15990 Medical Drive South in Findlay.

All individuals are encouraged to receive a head, neck and/or skin cancer screening as a precaution. Those with a family history of mouth, neck and/or skin cancer, or who have been exposed to large amounts of ultraviolet (UV) light and are not under the care of a dermatologist are especially encouraged to attend. Also at risk are those who use tobacco products, have a significant history of tobacco use and/or alcohol use, or do not receive regular dental screenings. Family physicians can also perform these screenings if individuals cannot attend this special event.

The Armes Family Cancer Care Center provides a full spectrum of cancer care services within a centralized community campus for expert cancer care. To learn more about these services, call 419-423-5522.
