Five Years on the Road

This year, The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Road to Healthy Skin Tour celebrated its fifth year of providing free, full-body skin exams to people across America.  In 2012 alone, the Tour screened more than 3,000 people, with our volunteer dermatologists finding close to 1,700 suspected skin cancers and precancers.

Since 2008, the Road to Healthy Skin Tour’s customized RV has traveled more than 100,000 miles across the country, hosting 408 events in 31 states and screening more than 16,000 people. Every year, more than 130 local dermatologists volunteer their time and expertise, and to date they have detected nearly 7,000 suspected skin cancers and precancers, including 295 potentially deadly melanomas. The Road to Healthy Skin Tour has finished its 2012 circuit. Check the Tour page again in early 2013 for information about future screening events.

The Skin Cancer Foundation would like to thank the Road to Healthy Skin Tour's partners and our volunteer doctors. Their generous support has enabled us to raise skin cancer awareness throughout the country.
