DermaHealth Dermatology & Dermasurgery would like to thank the amazing Tri-Cities community for trusting us with your skin for the past 15 years! Despite the current challenges, it is important to have your skin checked annually for early detection of skin cancer. Our Board-Certified Dermatologist and dermatology skin care experts will be offering FREE skin cancer screenings to the public on March 11th, from 10am-5pm. To keep our staff and the community safe, screenings will be done by appointment. Available time slots are between 10am and 5pm on Friday, March 11th, 2022. No insurance is required– this is an entirely free public service, and a great opportunity for those without insurance to have their skin checked! Give DermaHealth Dermatology & Dermasurgery a call at 509-783-2004 to make your appointment because space is limited!
