The Center

Zoe Ongaro, a certified Physician Assistant at Contemporary Dermatology will discuss what to look for, when to be concerned, preventative care and additional skin advice at the “Skin Care-ful” skin cancer presentation scheduled for April 21, 2026 at 2 p.m. at the Duxbury Council on Aging (COA), 10 Mayflower Street, Duxbury, MA 02332. Light refreshments will be served.
Call the Duxbury COA at 781-934-5774 to register for this event.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, one in five Americans will get skin cancer in their lifetime. The high incidence of skin cancer means regular skin exams are crucial, particularly when you have a family or personal history of skin cancer. Early detection is key to provide you with more treatment choices and improved outcomes.
Skin cancers are abnormal growths that can appear on the skin. Anyone who has spent time in the sun or in tanning beds has a chance of developing skin cancer in their lifetime. However, skin cancer is usually very treatable when caught in the early stages. Contemporary Dermatology specializes in the detection and treatment of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers.
With an eye for detail and extensive training, Ongaro specializes in medical dermatology and the management of dermatologic conditions, including skin cancer.
Ongaro holds a Master of Physician Assistant Studies from Massachusetts General Hospital Institute of Health Professions in Boston, and her experience includes clinical experience at Integrated Dermatology in Washington, D.C. and Dermatologic Surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital. 
Ongaro is a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA) and the Society for Dermatology Physician Assistants (SDPA) in addition to Pi Alpha National Honor Society for Physician Assistants.
Serving the South Shore, Cape Cod and the Islands, Contemporary Dermatology has state-of-the-art offices in Marstons Mills, The Pinehills, Plymouth, and at the Festival Shopping Plaza, Hyannis, MA.

Duxbury Council On Aging

Many of us have worked so hard, perhaps attended college (or beyond), and made many sacrifices. Yet, it is easy to be chewed up by shifting technology, corporate consolidation or office politics. Now that you are of a certain age, what is next? Thoughts about volunteering, hobbies, health, and personal goals? Segueing to a career of greater meaning? 
A seminar titled “Senior Encore. Planning your next chapter.” will be held at the Duxbury Council on Aging, 10 Mayflower Street, Duxbury, 02332 and is set for Thursday April 30, 11 a.m. The seminar will be led by Mike Dwyer of Emplana, a career consultant. 
For those of us with long careers behind us, this is a chance to give back but we often have concerns about staying current. How do we find the next or final chapter? What resources are available to provide a road map? 
After a long career in the private and public sectors, consulting stints with Ernst &amp; Young and Deloitte Consulting and a Master's Degree in Management from Salve Regina university, Michael Dwyer and a select group of advisors developed Emplana, the career pathway. 
Emplana Career, based at Cambridge Innovation Center, primarily helps seniors discover their next chapter and white-collar professionals, especially in tech, financial services and accounting, law, risk, professional services. Emplana Career consultants have had high powered careers that involve leading advanced technology and business projects, which keeps the consulting advice current and relevant.
For more information about Emplana Career or the seminar, contact Mike Dwyer, <a href="mailto:mikedwyer@emplanacareer.com">mikedwyer@emplanacareer.com</a>, (781) 910-2703.
