The organization says the initiative saves lives through early detection and prevention while educating the public about detection and sun protection.
“I think primarily a resource like this is important for people that really don’t have access to a dermatologist,” said Dr. Nana Duffy of the Schweiger Dermatology Group.
The Skin Cancer Foundation is also offering free skin cancer screenings in Rochester.
The screenings will be available from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Monday at the Norton Village Park.
Screenings are on a first-come, first-served basis.
