Sun protection for children, youth to be featured in June 5 webinar
Childhood and teenage years are peak times for sun exposure. Sunburns during these years significantly increase the risk of developing skin cancer later in life.
Join Brianne Haskell-Hanisch, M.D., Marshfield Clinic Dermatology Department, who will share sun safety strategies during the Childhood Agricultural Safety Network quarterly meeting, June 5, beginning at 1 p.m. (Central Time). A question-and-answer period will follow the presentation.
Dr. Haskell-Hanisch grew up in rural Nebraska, surrounded by farmers and ranchers, some of them family members. She completed medical school at the University of South Dakota and is nearing the end of her second year of residency. Marshfield Clinic Dermatology has decades of experience diagnosing and treating farmers for skin cancer, including screening at farmer-focused events.
There is no cost to attend the meeting but registration is required. Please use the following link: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/p0ocYVYXTLOgMZqNm5PsRA
