Free Skin Cancer Screening In Livingston: How To Sign Up

LIVINGSTON, NJ — The Livingston Health Department will host a free skin cancer screening clinic on Thursday, June 19 from 3 to 5 p.m. at the Livingston Senior/Community Center, 204 Hillside Avenue (first floor in Craft Rooms 1 and 2).

The event is taking place in conjunction with Jamie Price, PA-C from Advanced Dermatology.

According to a municipal news release:

“Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, approximately one out of five Americans will develop some form of skin cancer before the age of 70. Anyone can get skin cancer, but there are factors that can increase the risk for some individuals, such as a history of indoor tanning, multiple sunburns, a family history of skin cancer, and a lot of time spent outdoors for work or leisure. If you have any concerns about spots on your skin that are changing in shape, size, or color, or that seem irregular, be sure to have them checked.”

Appointments are required for this free skin cancer screening. To make an appointment, call the Health Department at 973-535-7961, ext. #7110, #7109 or #7108.
