Can you guess what the most common cancer in the US is? Click here to find out!

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the main cause of skin cancer. UV damage can also cause wrinkles and blotches or spots on your skin.

The good news is that skin cancer is preventable, and it is almost always curable when it’s found and treated early.

Affinity is proud to take part in Skin Cancer Prevention Month. During May, join us in taking action to prevent skin cancer and reduce the risk of UV damage.

Take simple steps today to protect your skin:

Stay out of the sun as much as possible between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Use sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher. Put on sunscreen every 2 hours and after you swim or sweat.
Cover up with long sleeves and a hat.
Check your skin often for changes.

"We have a special needs daughter who needed her foot looked at. Thankful that Affinity accepted her Medicaid first of all. Staff was nice, did not have a long wait, doctor was knowledgeable and understanding with our daughter, which means a lot. She was able to get x-rays done on her foot and received the results before we left. A great place to go on short notice."

"Facility was very clean. Very short wait. The doctor and x-ray tech were great!!"

"Fast and friendly. Was in and out in about an hour, and the PA and nurses were great. Much better experience than the ER."

"The Affinity care clinic in Galveston was wonderful. I walked in Memorial Day (without an appointment) and was seen by a very courteous and helpful staff. I highly recommend them."

"My experience at this urgent care facility was a pleasant one. I brought my daughter in due to an allergic reaction. The staff members there were awesome!"
