Tri-Cities Cancer Center to Offer Free Skin Cancer Screening on March 7

The Tri-Cities Cancer Center is holding a free skin cancer screening in partnership with Christy Masterman, DCNP of Dermatology Solutions. Christy will provide spot checks to help keep you healthy. The free screening will be held on Saturday, March 7th, 2019 from 9:00AM to 12:00PM at the Tri-Cities Cancer Center. Our community is encouraged to take part in this free screening.

Participation is by appointment only. To schedule your appointment, please call (509) 737-3420.

Skin cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in the U.S. With over 300 days of sunshine in our region, residents must protect themselves from harmful UV rays. According to the National Institute of Health, individuals should be checked for any suspicious skin markings and any changes in the way their skin looks. Early detection leads to more treatment options and better outcomes. If not treated, some types of skin cancer cells can spread to other tissues and organs.

The Tri-Cities Cancer Center is able to offer programs like this, at no cost, thanks to community support through the Tri-Cities Cancer Center Foundation. Donations to the Tri-Cities Cancer Center Foundation stay local and provide valuable non-reimbursed cancer programs and services for patients, their families, and the community.
