Summer being here means being outside, which is great, but the sun is also constantly trying to kill you.
If there are some problem spots you’re worried about, Northside Hospital is hosting a skin cancer screening June 13.
The hospital said in a news release that National Cancer Institute estimates more than 2,000 cases of melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer, will be diagnosed in Georgia this year.
