With skin cancer
reaching epidemic proportions in this country, St. Rita's is committed to
sun safety and skin cancer awareness. A Dermascan is an important tool for
early detection of skin damaged by exposure to the sun and other factors.
The Dermascan uses UV light to detect areas of damage. The test is painless
and only takes a few moments. One of St. Rita's specially trained nurses
or technicians will point out areas where the skin may be damaged. The examiner
will discuss with the participant ways of preventing further damage and
if additional medical guidance is necessary.
Dermascan screenings are provided to adults through the Healthy Lifestyles
Center, West Central Ohio Regional Healthcare Alliance group of hospitals,
at corporate health screenings and a variety of health fairs and community
groups. |
