SELF Workout in the Park - Chicago - Grant Park
Photos from the Saturday, June 1, 2013 event.

A fantastic team of Chicago-area WDS volunteers conducted skin cancer screenings, sun damage assessments and sun safety education at this bustling, energized outreach event. Special thanks to WDS co-chairs Mary Martini, MD and Brooke Jackson, MD, along with WDS President Amy Paller, MD, for bringing together such a terrific Team Chicago for the cause of sun safety education and skin cancer prevention

The hard-working volunteer dermatologists screened 181 individuals--a record for the SELF event series. 36% of the individuals who were screened were referred to dermatologists for further diagnosis/biopsy of suspicious sites on the skin.

Thank you to all the volunteers who made this successful outreach possible and to La Roche-Posay for sponsoring this WDS program.
