The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS), the largest specialty organization representing dermatologic surgeons, recognized top volunteer skin cancer screeners from across the nation, who collectively provided more than 5,500 free cancer screenings in their communities in the last year. Top screeners were announced at the 2018 ASDS Annual Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona.
Choose Skin Health, in partnership with Neutrogena, is a year-round program that encourages the public to choose healthy, sun-safe behaviors and offers free skin cancer screenings by ASDS member dermatologists. The program advocates for regular sunscreen use and promotes prevention techniques and self-exams.
For the fourth consecutive year, Dr. Andrew T. Jaffe is the overall top Choose Skin Health screener for 2018. His practice – Riverchase Dermatology, based in southwest Florida – is the program’s top practice for the year.
