Jones Beach Screening
CCMAC has been providing FREE Skin Cancer Screenings on the Boardwalk at Jones Beach State Park, County and Town Parks, and other locations around the New York metropolitan area since 2005. Without the dedication and generosity of the doctors and residents who donate their time these life saving screenings would not be able to provided to the Long Island Community. Early identification and early intervention saves lives. Many of those screened are referred to private physicians for more comprehensive examinations and follow up.
CCMAC would like to acknowledge and thank all those who participated to make this screening a success.

Tanner Park Screening
Senator Michael Venditto, Senator Phil Boyle, CCMAC, & the Town of Babylon Team Up to Provide Free Skin Cancer Screening Program to Over 150 Residents!
On July 7th, 2016, Senator Michael Venditto (R-Massapequa) and Senator Phil Boyle (R-Bayshore) teamed up with the Colette Coyne Melanoma Awareness Campaign (CCMAC) and the Town of Babylon to sponsor a free skin cancer screening program at Tanner Park in Copiague to help protect residents from skin cancer.
“Getting screened is critically important to ensure that skin cancer is detected early and treated effectively. With people spending more and more time in the sun enjoying the summer, this program gave them the opportunity to be safe and get screened. I thank CCMAC and the Town of Babylon for once again partnering with me to offer this important program,” said Senator Venditto.
According to CCMAC, one in five people will be diagnosed with some type of skin cancer in their lifetime. Malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer, is the fastest growing cancer in America, claiming one life every hour. People of all ethnic backgrounds and races can get skin cancer. One blistering sunburn during childhood or adolescence more than doubles melanoma risk later in life.
CCMAC worked with Dr. Steve McClain of McClain Labs, Dr. Scott Flugman of Dermatology Associates of Huntington, Dr. Erin Schoor of NYU Langone Medical Group and the doctors from Stony Brook Hospital Dermatology Department to provide the free screenings to over 150 individuals.

New York State Life Guard Screening
On May 7th, 2016 CCMAC sponsored a skin cancer screening for New York State Lifeguards who were re-certifying at the Brentwood Campus of Suffolk Community College. Life guards at our county and state parks are at increased risk due to the nature of their jobs, and the amount of time spent in the sun. CCMAC has been providing FREE Skin Cancer Screenings around the New York metropolitan area for the past ten years. Early identification and intervention saves lives. Many of those screened are referred to private physicians for follow up.
