Skin Cancer Screenings Coming Up

by Jason Allentoff

While many are out enjoying fun in the summer sun, people often forget their risk for skin cancer increases dramatically. That's why the Choose Your Cover promotion is under way statewide.

Members of the Ocean County Cancer Coalition came out Wednesday morning in Ship Bottom to announce details. Also in attendance was Dr. Arnold Baskies. He is the Chairman of the Governor's Task Force on Cancer Prevention, Early Detection and Treatment. Baskies says free melanoma screenings will be offered for free on Saturday, July 25th.

The Choose Your Cover Screenings will take place from 10 A.M. until 2 P.M. Locations are as follows: Asbury Park Beach on the Boardwalk at Ocean Avenue, Bradley Beach on the Ocean Avenue section at Lorraine Avenue, Brick Beach 3, Brigantine at the 16th Street Gazebo, Cape May on the boardwalk at the Great Law area, Highlands Family Beach at 22 Snug Harbor Avenue, Long Branch on the boardwalk at the Great Lawn area, Ortley Beach at 4th and Ocean Avenue, Sea Bright Boro Beach at 1097 Ocean Avenue, Ship Bottom at the 20th Street beach end and in Ventnor at the Ventnor Community Center.
