When Ronnie walked into the salon in June 2022, she never imagined that her life was about to take a frightening turn. As her hairdresser parted Ronnie’s hair for a cut, she saw something new on Ronnie’s scalp that turned out to be a melanoma.
Thanks to the help of 51 volunteer dermatologists in 24 cities, The Skin Cancer Foundation provided 1,414 free skin cancer screenings in 2022. Here are some highlights from Destination Healthy Skin.
In July, 2022, our Destination Healthy Skin RV made its way across five states, where we provided 274 free skin cancer screenings.
In June, our dermatologists collectively donated 35 hours of their time to conduct more than 350 skin exams. They identified 127 potential skin precancers and skin cancers, including four suspected melanomas.
In May 2022, our volunteer dermatologists screened 263 participants across four states and Washington, DC, putting in over 39 hours of screening time. And we’re just getting started!
