FRACKVILLE – Next Thursday, Geisinger will offer free skin cancer screenings at their Frackville location, 701 West Oak Street.

The screenings will take place from 1 to 3:45pm on May 9, and appointments are required and available on a first come, first served basis, Geisinger said in a media release. To make an appointment or for more information, visit geisinger.org/events, search skin cancer, or call 800-275-6401 and at the prompt say “Dermatology.”

More than 3 million Americans develop skin cancer each year, and early detection can greatly improve outcomes. Geisinger dermatologists will screen for skin cancers and irregular freckles, moles or sunspots, and recommend further assessment and treatment if necessary.
