Dr. Erin Gilbert explaining the results of the sun damage assessments to participants at the SELF Workout in the Park in NYC
Young women participating in this event were very interested in and concerned about the sun damage on their faces.

Several WDS members volunteered to conduct skin cancer screenings on health-conscious women (and some men, too!) at the SELF Workout in the Park in Central Park on May 11
Semi-private and private screening areas were set up so that dermatologists could examine exposed areas of the face and body, as well as specific areas where individuals may have had specific concerns. A few suspected cancers were identified, requiring further diagnosis and biopsy by dermatologists.
