As the leaves begin to change and temperatures cool, it's easy to forget about sun protection. However, fall sun safety remains important for maintaining healthy skin and preventing long-term damage. While you may be swapping swimsuits for sweaters, don't let the cooler temperatures fool you into packing away your sun protection gear just yet. This autumn, consider incorporating a stylish wide-brimmed hat into your wardrobe—it’s both fashionable and practical for sun safety.
When you're going through cancer treatment, eating well can be a challenge. Many people feel sick, tired, or just don't have much appetite. That's where soup comes in! Soup is a great option for people undergoing cancer treatments or longer term survivors for many reasons.
Soup is easy to eat and digest. If you're feeling nauseous or have a sore mouth, smooth soups can be soothing and gentle on your stomach. Warm (not hot) soup can also help if you're dealing with taste changes or a dry mouth.
November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month and Nevada Cancer Coalition and its partners are working to educate Nevadans about early detection of this all-too-common cancer that affects thousands of Nevadans every year. Newer, more effective screening has helped some people to find their lung cancer earlier when it’s easier to treat and survive, but the disease remains the #1 cancer killer in Nevada by far. Each year more people will die of lung cancer than of colorectal and breast cancer combined.
In the world of nonprofits, achieving ambitious goals with limited resources is often the norm.
Special note: This program will be presented in Spanish. If you know someone who could benefit from this livestream event, please forward this along!
