How the Grant is Being Used

The Sun Safety/Skin Cancer Prevention program works to reduce the incidence of skin cancer by offering free prevention education and free skin cancer screenings to the public in Dana-Farber’s Blum Family Resource Center Van. All screenings are performed by a board-certified Brigham and Women’s Hospital dermatologist on board the van.
