Protection from cancer-causing tanning devices
Facebook
Even with our limited months of sunshine, Oregon has the nation’s fourth highest death rate from skin cancer. Using tanning beds at an early age is linked to premature skin cancers and many states are taking steps to limit minor’s access to these skin cancer producing beds.

Go to the OHSU Effect to find out more about why Dr. Druker believes this is life saving legislation.
