Free Skin Cancer Screening For Uninsured At Doylestown Hospital

DOYLESTOWN, PA — As part of Skin Cancer Awareness Month, Doylestown Health and local

dermatologists Mary Toporcer, MD, and Shannon Wiedersum, DO, will be offering a free skin
screening on May 9 at 6 pm at the Doylestown Health Cancer Institute.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, according to the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention. Some estimates state that at least one in five Americans will
develop skin cancer by age 70. Annual screenings help detect skin cancer in its early stages.

“Although skin cancer is very common, the survival rates increase dramatically when disease is
caught early,” says Dr. Wiedersum. “Routine skin cancer screenings can identify pre-cancerous
and cancerous lesions in their early stages and will help you learn to better examine your own
skin.”

The program is intended for those with no insurance or those with high deductibles/copays who
have not had a skin screening within the last two years. This program is NOT intended for
individuals currently under the care of a dermatologist.

The screening will take place on May 9 at 6 p.m. at the Doylestown Health Cancer Institute, 599 West State Street, Suite 307, Doylestown 18901. Registration is required and space is limited. To register, call 267-885-1580.
