Work Stride webinar: Sun & Skin Cancer Awareness

What you should know about sunscreen
Staying protected and safe from the sun's harmful rays isn't as straightforward as it should be, especially because many sunscreens aren't offering adequate protection. Johns Hopkins' partners at Care.com have provided a comprehensive article and review of kids' sunscreen products for parents and caregivers to reference this summer.
Did you know that sunscreen and other SPF products are eligible expenses for health savings accounts (HSA) and health care flexible spending accounts (FSA)? Find out which ones are eligible here.
