Martin Memorial is again teaming up with Moffitt Cancer Center to help detect skin cancer with a free screening on Sunday, March 22.
The screenings are available from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., prior to the New York Mets spring training game against the Atlanta Braves 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. During the 2008 spring training season, its first year in existence, Spring Swing screened 695 people, identifying 108 suspected cancerous lesions and 264 suspected pre-cancerous lesions.
No reservations are required, but you can find more information about the March 22 screening by calling the Robert and Carol Weissman Cancer Center at (772) 223-5945, ext. 3704.
