Free Skin Cancer Screening

By  | 

From Lane RMC
    A free skin cancer screening sponsored by Lane Regional Medical Center and Advanced Dermatology will be held Wednesday, May 13, from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. at the office of  Laurie Harrington, MD, and Jennifer Burk Henderson, PA-C, located at 20474 Old Scenic Highway in Zachary.
    The screening coincides with Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month, and is part of a national campaign to encourage early detection and teach prevention of skin cancer, the most common form of cancer in this country.  
    “The key to the successful treatment of most types of cancer is early detection and treatment,” said Dr. Harrington.  “With skin cancer, early detection is easy because the signs are visible on the surface of the skin.”
    Advanced Dermatology and Lane Regional Medical Center invite the public to take advantage of this free screening.  Registration is required and space is limited.  
    For more information or to register for the screening call (225) 658-4587.
