Advanced Dermatology Free Cancer Screening Event

Advanced Dermatology's Spanish Springs office hosted more than 30 Leatherneck Warriors and family members at a free cancer screening event. Advanced Dermatology is a Platinum Sponsor of the Leatherneck Warriors Dragonboat team. With one in five people developing skin cancer, it is important that all people get routine check-ups with a dermatologist. Team paddler Ann Meehan commented about her experience, "I have pretty fair skin. Being outdoor in Florida is brutal on my skin, so I was thrilled to have such a great Dermatologist nearby." Don Lies added, "Not only are they a fine company, they are also a great partner for our team."
