May is Melanoma Awareness Month. This very deadly form of cancer can usually be prevented by faithfully using sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. And don't forget to get a dermatological checkup every year for possible problem spots! xitter.cf/HHSGov/status/99347747…

Great to see Oral Health America report ranking Connecticut 4th in US & tops in northeast for dental care to older adults across all coverage/service sectors. Excellent overall category, tho periodontal care flagged. TY @Smile4Health #OralHealthAmerica #AStateofDecay @HUSKYDental xitter.cf/Smile4Health/status/98…
