Bring It! - With Patty Kim

Surf, Sand ... And Skin Screenings


What are you doing this weekend?

If you’re planning to hit Clearwater Beach tomorrow, check out Moffitt Cancer Center‘s FREE Mole Patrol!

It’s going on from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Pier 60 Pavilion.

You’ll have access to oncologists, dermatologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and registered nurses.

If you live in Florida and like to spend time out in the sun, you should schedule annual skin screenings.

I didn’t have my first until last year. It was a good thing I went because I had a suspicious mole removed.

Fortunately it turned out to be benign. But it could’ve been something serious, and I wouldn’t have even known it.

Take it from Lois Rendina, coordinator of the Mole Patrol program.

“Practicing sun safety and being diligent about self exams is a good way to catch skin cancer in its early, treatable stages.”

Just do it! Tell the Moffitt docs I said hi!
