For Patients: The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Statement on COVID-19
The spread of COVID-19 (also known as Coronavirus) has sparked concern worldwide, particularly among the elderly and those with underlying health issues. If you are concerned about receiving treatment for skin cancer (or any other condition) during this time, The Skin Cancer Foundation strongly advises you to speak to your physician before making any decisions. Health care providers are the best source of information and they understand your unique circumstances. Staying informed, asking questions and heeding the advice of medical professionals and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the best way to stay safe during the COVID-19 outbreak.
How The Skin Cancer Foundation Is Addressing COVID-19
The Skin Cancer Foundation is carefully monitoring the latest developments from the CDC, state and local health departments and we are doing our part to slow the spread of this virus. The Foundation remains open, and all staff are working remotely in accordance with social distancing protocols. We have halted all work-related travel until further notice.
At the heart of it all, we remain committed to our mission of saving and improving lives by educating the public and medical community about skin cancer and the importance of prevention, early detection and prompt treatment. Our website and social media platforms are now more important than ever as they provide digital resources to millions of people who are dealing with skin cancer during this unprecedented time.
