Martin Memorial is again teaming up with Moffitt Cancer Center to help detect skin cancer with a free screening on Saturday, March 13.
The screenings are available from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., prior to the New York Mets spring training game against the Detroit Tigers at Tradition Field, located at 525 N.W. Peacock Blvd. in Port St. Lucie.
The Spring Swing-Moffitt’s Sun Safety Tour – a partnership with Moffitt, the Tampa Bay Rays and Moffitt affiliates such as Martin Memorial – offers free skin cancer screenings at specified spring training venues throughout the month of March.
Dermatologists and staff from Martin Memorial and Moffitt will be looking for early signs of skin cancer while promoting sun safety, skin cancer awareness and education. Last year, Spring Swing screened 695 people, with 119 of them having suspected cancerous lesions and another 292 people having suspected pre-cancerous lesions. A total of 132 people were screened during the visit to Tradition Field.
No reservations are required, but you can find more information about the March 13 screening by calling the Robert and Carol Weissman Cancer Center at (772) 223-5945, ext. 3704. You can also visit Moffitt’s Web site at insidemoffitt.com.
