By [Victoria Kopec](https://www.skincancer.org/blog/author/vkopec/) • Published On: July 11, 2024 • Last Updated: November 26, 2024 ![RV photo with logos](https://www.skincancer.org/wp-content/uploads/RV-photo-with-logos-1024x768.jpg) #### Our 2024 [Destination Healthy Skin](https://destinationhealthyskin.org/) (DHS) free screening and education program has reached its mid-season break. Each year, the program brings hope and progress in the fight against skin cancer, helping thousands of people along the way. Our 2024 season began on April 21, and as of July 3, we have hit the following milestones: * Our volunteer dermatologists have performed 1,264 **free skin cancer screenings**, identifying **539 suspected** [skin cancers](https://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-information/) and [precancers](https://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-information/actinic-keratosis/) including 21 suspected [melanomas](https://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-information/melanoma/). * The dermatologists also found 148[atypical moles](https://www.skincancer.org/risk-factors/atypical-moles/), a melanoma risk factor. Participants with atypical moles were cautioned to keep a close eye on their skin. We’ve also reached a new program milestone: The Skin Cancer Foundation has provided **32,000 free skin cancer screenings** since our program first launched. That’s a big deal! ### **A Lifesaving Journey** This year, Destination Healthy Skin started off with three days of screenings in Kansas City, Kansas. Next, the RV traveled to Tempe, Arizona. From there we headed westward to Encinitas, California for several days of screening and education events, then headed north for screening events in Roseburg and Portland, Oregon to close out the month of May. June began with screenings in Seattle and Richland, Washington, before heading east for events in Park City, Utah and Idaho Falls, Idaho. Then the RV continued east to Minneapolis and on to Rockford, Illinois, where we finished up the first part of the season on July 3\. ### **Arizona Highlights** From May 1 to 3, we kicked off [Skin Cancer Awareness Month](https://www.skincancer.org/get-involved/skin-cancer-awareness-month/) with screening events in Tempe. We are grateful to the dermatologists from Saguaro Dermatology, who once again volunteered their time to screen patients. The first day, Carsten R. Hamann, MD, PhD, performed a full day of skin exams and the next day we welcomed his brother, Dathan Hamann, MD, to the RV. The doctors had a brotherly competition to see who could screen the most people (Dathan: 58; Carsten: 60). On May 3, Michael McBride, DO, screened 56 people throughout the day, and identified a suspected melanoma. We were also grateful to have [melanoma](https://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-information/melanoma/) warriors Katie, Candice and Ann volunteer to share their stories and lend a hand. “Skin checks are a must! Putting it off is a risk that can lead to serious skin cancers, like melanoma,” Katie told us. “DHS was one of the most rewarding experiences I have had as a 10-year survivor of melanoma and skin cancer advocate.” “I had the best time helping out at DHS this year,” said Candice. “As a stage IV melanoma survivor, it’s important to encourage others to get a skin check. No demographic is immune. It was nice to see people from all walks of life and all ages get free screenings and skin cancer education.” While there, Katie, Candice and Ann recorded a fun video for social media. The Big See Skin Check Tips from Our Destination Healthy Skin Volunteers ### **Sun Safety in Sunny California** Our next stop was beautiful Encinitas at the Sun Bum West Coast Office & Concept Store, for four days of events. Big thanks to Bari Cunningham, MD, Laura Scott, MD, Elizabeth Cooper, MD and Jenna Boraok, MD for volunteering their time for this vital public health service. Our event manager, Amy, heard several stories from people who said that they spend a lot of time in the sun, surfing and swimming, and even though they protect themselves, they still get some sun damage, especially when they forget to reapply. This is a perfect example of why [sunscreen](https://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-prevention/sun-protection/sunscreen/) alone cannot fully protect you from skin cancer. We recommend a [complete approach](https://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-prevention/), including sun protective [clothing, wide-brimmed hats](https://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-prevention/sun-protection/sun-protective-clothing/), [eyewear](https://www.skincancer.org/skin-cancer-prevention/sun-protection/eye-protection/) and seeking shade, in addition to vigilant sunscreen application. One man told the event workers that he used to be a surfer and had so many skin cancer surgeries that doctors had performed skin grafts on one side of his neck and face. Another man was so happy to get screened because he was worried about a spot and was leaving the country the following day. He was grateful that he got to start his trip with peace of mind! **What Destination Healthy Skin Means to the People We Serve** At every event, participants have told us how grateful they are to get screened, learn more about [skin cancer prevention](https://skincancer.org/prevention) and receive free skin care and sun protection products. Here are just a few comments from this year’s participants: I don’t have insurance so this is a great opportunity. Kansas City participant It’s wonderful, very convenient. I have basal cell carcinoma in the past, so this could possibly save my life. Tempe participant This means everything. My cousin passed away in 2011 from melanoma. He was 23 years old. It always reminds me of the importance of skin checks and practicing sun safety. Encinitas, participant I’m young but have already had skin cancer so I appreciate frequent screening. Encinitas, participant I’m currently in between insurance and worried about a spot on my skin so when I saw the RV I squealed with relief! This is such an important service. Thank you! Encinitas participant Due to lack of insurance, this screening is everything to me. Portland participant I was here last year! Grateful for it. Made me more consistent with sunscreen. Portland participant Dermatology appointments are difficult to book so it’s great that you offer this service. I appreciate how this is able to raise awareness about skin cancer. Seattle participant **Urgent: You Can Help Save Destination Healthy Skin** We’ve launched the [Save Destination Healthy Skin campaign](https://skincancer.emlnk9.com/lt.php?x=3DZy~GE3U6GZ5sKuzg5OW.Se133SiQTzv-Y2YXnIIqSfDH7A0Ey.zOhx5X2kiO~vnuczY5T) to raise funds for the purchase of a new RV to keep DHS on the road, screening people around the country and saving lives. **Urgent Need:** DHS cannot continue with a 14-year-old RV. Replacing the RV for our 2025 season will keep our free skin cancer screenings going strong for years to come.

We move down the east coast in October, with screenings until late November!
