Lions to bring free skin checks to Seymour

The charity was formed in response to alarming data that put Australia in the top percentile of incidences of skin cancers in the world.

The Lions Club of Seymour Goulburn announced that the skin check van was set to visit Seymour on May 31 and June 1 at the Woolworths car park on the corner of Wallis St and William St.

The van will provide a free skin checking service to locals, and will be a valuable resource of timely information on skin care and self-checking techniques.

As the service is not a medical clinic, visitors should expect to be referred to their GP following the skin checks if there are any suspect spots or lesions.

The purpose of the van is not to provide a diagnosis, but rather to act as a first step in ensuring urgent needs are addressed.

The air-conditioned van has three fully equipped checking rooms and an entry foyer, as well as a disabled lift and entry at its rear.

To book a free skin cancer check, local and surrounding residents are asked to contact Leonie from the Lions Club of Seymour Goulburn on 0439 308 055 or leonie.willis2@bigpond.com
