The Department of Dermatology at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Columbia University Irving Medical Center will offer a free screening that could save your life.

No appointment is needed. First come, first served based on availability.

The SPOTme skin cancer screening program is part of the American Academy of Dermatology’s SPOT Skin Cancer initiative, a campaign to create a world without skin cancer through public awareness, community outreach programs and services, and advocacy promoting skin cancer prevention, detection, and care. Since 1985, dermatologists have conducted more than 2.9 million free skin cancer checks and detected more than 293,000 suspicious lesions, including more than 33,700 suspected melanoma. When caught early, skin cancer is highly treatable.
