VitalSkin Dermatology to Hold Free Spot Check Event on July 9 

Jennifer Slater, PA-C and the team at VitalSkin Dermatology will provide free skin  cancer spot checks on Friday, July 9 at their practice located at 917 Remington Rd. in Mattoon. 

“Skin cancer has become the most common form of cancer in our country. It’s estimated that one person  dies from melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, each hour,” said Slater. “But when found early,  skin cancer is highly treatable. With our free spot checks, we want to help protect the health of this  community, especially with those who may not have regular skin checks. If we can identify the signs of  skin cancer early, we can help save lives.” 

During the spot check, the VitalSkin team will check a concerning spot and advise if further evaluation or  action is needed. The free spot checks are open to the public and will be provided by appointment only.  To schedule your free spot check on July 9, please call (217) 205-3376. 

VitalSkin’s free spot check event will support skin cancer awareness, which aims 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.
