The Health Night Out on Monday, May 20, will be a free skin cancer screening at 7 p.m. in the DesertView Theatre.
One in five Americans will get skin cancer in their lifetime. With some of the nation’s hottest and brightest sunshine, Tucson is second only to Sydney, Australia, when it comes to skin cancer rates.
Dr. Scott Sheftel, founder of Healthy Skin Dermatology, will offer valuable tips to help you protect your skin this summer and the rest of the year.
After his presentation, Dr. Sheftel will conduct free skin cancer screenings. Private rooms are scheduled for the individual screenings. There will be a sign-up sheet when you arrive. Wear comfortable clothing if you want a screening. Dr. Sheftel will stay until the screenings are completed.
Dr. Sheftel has a special, long-term relationship with SaddleBrooke and underwrites the annual SaddleBrooke Health Fair where he and his team have conducted thousands of free screenings over the years. We consider him an integral part of our health community.
Dr. Sheftel did his undergraduate work at Syracuse University and completed medical school at the University of Ohio. He completed two residencies: one in Internal Medicine at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Phoenix and one in Dermatology at the University of Arizona. He has specialized training in surgical oncology, laser surgery, skin laser resurfacing, hair transplantation, and sclerotherapy.
With six offices, Healthy Skin Dermatology now offers a full range of medical and cosmetic dermatological services, including the critical detection and treatment of skin cancers.
SaddleBrooke Health and Wellness is pleased to host Dr. Scott Sheftel on Monday, May 20, at 7 p.m. in the DesertView Theatre.
