What is the New York State Department of Health Doing About Skin Cancer?
The NYSDOH has developed brochures, posters and media displays related to skin cancer. The agency is partnering with selected elementary schools across the state to promote their participation in its skin cancer prevention efforts. Schools can play a vital role in helping prevent skin cancer since children spend a large amount of the sun’s peak hours at school. NYSDOH is working to create school environments that promote sun safety and help prevent skin cancer. In addition, in response to a new law, NYSDOH is partnering with the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to provide skin cancer prevention information to visitors at state parks and historic sites.
