Making sun safety simple across our community
Skin Cancer PreventionÂ
Providing education, resources, and free sunscreen access to help reduce skin cancer risk.
Loup Basin’s Skin Cancer Prevention Program focuses on reducing skin cancer risk through education, awareness, and increased access to protection.
Â
Through a cancer prevention grant supported by the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Loup Basin Public Health Department partners with local pools across our district to install and supply free, touchless sunscreen dispensers, making it easier for individuals and families to protect their skin while enjoying time outdoors.
​
In addition to providing sunscreen access, we share information on sun safety practices such as using sunscreen as directed, wearing protective clothing, and limiting sun exposure during peak hours. We also encourage regular skin checks and awareness of changes that may need medical attention. Whether you’re spending time at the pool, working outside, or enjoying the outdoors, our program is here to help you take simple, effective steps to protect your skin and reduce your risk of skin cancer.
