Not to sound too preachy, but sun safety starts with you, no matter your age or complexion. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer, yet it's also the most preventable and curable form (when detected early). While remembering to apply sunscreen daily is your responsibility, The Skin Cancer Foundation is pitching in with a national tour to keep you in check. Spreading the word in more than 80 cities, board-certified dermatologists will perform full-body skin-cancer screenings on a customized 38-foot RV.
Officially kicking off on May 4 in New York, the tour expects more than 10,000 people over the multi-month effort. By offering these free tests, The Road to Healthy Skin Tour not only educates thousands about the importance of protective and preventative measures, but leaves no excuse for the "coulda" part of that woulda, shoulda saying. Curious when the tour arrives near you? Search by state or date, and remember, you should always have this annual skin check done by a doctor near you regardless!
Lipsy
Herve Leger
Roberto Cavalli
They won't be out in MA ill July.
1The closest one is 3 hours away for me. Our employee health fair had something similar earlier this year, but it was just face and neck. Really interesting to see.
2Is it silly that all I can think about is that Seinfeld episode where Kramer poses as Dr. Van Nostren and does the fake skin cancer screening at Kruger Industrial Smoothing so that George can get a photo of his boss without his shirt on?
3Not silly, Whip! (And yes, I do, to answer your avatar. Love her.)
4I live in Tucson, AZ... Southern Arizona is known as the skin cancer capital of the US... interestingly enough there are no stops in southern Arizona.
5Boo. Not coming to Missouri.
6The four locations in Colorado, are all suburbs of the same city. Apparently no one else lives in this state. And unfortunately health care makes it so hard to get an appointment at a dermatologists. So i guess we just hope lol.
7This is great--so important to check your skin!
8Crap. They already came to Atlanta!
9I was hoping to find the skin screen advertised in Nashville on here but it must be a different thing going on at the same time. Closest one to me on this list is 160 miles away! 2 near Memphis and none in any other part of TN, I'd have to go to Kentucky - why so few and so arbitrarily placed? It's useful, but only for a tiny minority of people with this set up.
10with just a little help my web site will let anyone submit a breath sample taken at home and have it screened for Breast and Lung cancer. Please consider helping! More info @ dogs4cancer.com/newsletter
