THE Lions Club of Whittlesea has announced that the Skin Check van will be visiting Whittlesea Township on Saturday 14, and Sunday, June 15 at 74 Laurel Street.
The van will provide a free skin checking service to local residents and will be operated by fully trained, certificated and professionally supervised volunteers.
The unit will also be a valuable resource for local people to access not only the skin check, but valuable and timely information about skin care and self-checking techniques.
Following the skin check, visitors will be issued with a referral to their GP if there are any suspect spots or lesions. The Unit is not a medical clinic, so diagnosis or treatment requirements are not discussed – it simply provides the skin check and alerts the visitor to skin lesions that require further checking and attention.
Lions Clubs in Victoria and Southern NSW are doing something practical about reducing the high level of skin cancer and its impact on families.
The incorporated charity, the Lions V Districts Cancer Foundation, put the Skin Check and Awareness Unit on the road, following excellent financial support from Lions Clubs and generous public and private supporters.
To book a free Skin Cancer Checking, local and surrounding residents should contact Teresa on 0413 739 757 or by email at mail@treeservices.com.au
