    Make a Difference with Free Skin Cancer Screenings

    Summer is a great time for ASDS members to offer free skin cancer screenings to promote skin health and potentially save lives in their communities. Data collected during the first three years of the Choose Skin Health program reveal that 1 in 10 people is diagnosed with skin cancer during free screenings offered by members. These data elevate the importance of the free screening program since early detection is a key to fighting skin cancer. Members can offer free screenings at any dates or times which are then posted on the ASDS website. Sign up and receive forms, patient education materials and samples.
