Free skin cancer screenings to be conducted at Chargers Park
SAN DIEGO (CNS) – Free skin cancer screenings will be conducted Saturday
at Chargers Park as part of the national Melanoma Exposed campaign, which
seeks to raise awareness of melanoma and its risk factors and encourage people
to be screened.
“We are proud to take part in this program because it helps our fans
become more knowledgeable about the risk factors of this preventable disease,”
Chargers CEO A.G. Spanos said today in announcing their partnership with the
campaign.
“Living in San Diego where it's almost always sunny, we know how
critical it is to protect ourselves from sun exposure with players and coaches
spending so many hours outside. It's important that our fans take the same
precautions.”
The screenings will be conducted by licensed dermatologists and other
health care professionals from 8:15 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Everyone being screened
will receive a prize from the Chargers.
