Congratulations AAD

The American Academy of Dermatology celebrated its 25th year of offering free skin cancer screenings with several new initiatives in 2009; offering an e-card to notify others about the screenings; an alert to notify you when a screening is being held within 50 miles of your community; and a new video describing what to expect in a skin cancer exam. Since 1985 member dermatologists have conducted 1.9 million free skin cancer screenings and detected 188,000 suspicious lesions, including more than 21,500 suspected melanomas.
