Free skin cancer education and screening at area beaches
Committed to the communities we
serve, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Blum Van will be visiting beaches
across Massachusetts to provide free skin cancer education and screenings. For some events, a dermatologist will be on board to provide free full-body
examinations and address any skin-cancer related concerns. Adults will also
have the opportunity to take a photo that will show areas with sun damage and
learn how to protect themselves from further damage. Educational activities
will be available for children. Participants will receive educational
materials, sunscreen, key chains with energy beads that change color in
response to UV rays, and Red Sox baseball caps.
