To coincide with Melanoma Awareness Month, which runs throughout May, Roscommon University Hospital has donated sunscreen dispensers to Roscommon GAA – Roscommon Gaels and Dr Hyde Park to help raise awareness around skin cancer prevention.
The initiative aims to encourage regular sunscreen use among players, particularly during the summer months when UV exposure is at its highest.
Roscommon University Hospital will hold a Memorial Mass on Thursday, 21 November at 7.30pm in the Sacred Heart Church, Roscommon in memory of those who died in the hospital between 2020 and 2022. The Mass will also remember those people who were brought to Roscommon University Hospital after they had passed away in the community.
The Mass aims to provide a space to support families in the grief they are experiencing, in a respectful and empathetic way.
