Dermatology, Inc. and HealthNet Host Free Skin Cancer Screening on November 2

10/4/2023

Did you know that skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States? It is highly treatable when caught early.

HealthNet will host a free community SPOT Skin Cancer™ screening on Thursday, November 2, 2023 from 1-3 p.m. at HealthNet Southeast Health & Dental Center, 901 Shelby St. in Indianapolis.

No appointments are needed. Walk-ins are welcome on a first-come, first-served basis. A skin cancer exam only takes a few minutes and could save your life.

The SPOT Skin Cancer™ screening program is part of the American Academy of Dermatology's SPOT Skin Cancer™ initiative, a campaign to create a world without skin cancer through public awareness, community outreach programs and services, and advocacy that promote the prevention, detection and care of skin cancer. Since 1985, AAD member dermatologists have conducted more than 2.8 million free skin cancer screenings and have detected nearly 286,000 suspicious lesions, including more than 32,700 suspected melanomas.
