St. Francis Healthcare System will offer free skin cancer screenings on April 1. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, affecting millions of Americans every year. About one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime. To take precaution, register with St. Francis for a complimentary screening.

Screenings will be provided by Advanced Dermatology of Southeast Missouri. Patients who have been seen at Advanced Dermatology within the past three years are asked to continue care through the office, not through the free screening program.

The skin cancer screenings will take place Saturday, April 1, from 8 a.m. to noon at Cape Radiation Oncology at Entrance 6 of St. Francis Medical Center.

An appointment is required. To schedule, please call 573-331-5784.
