GetSkinHelp: Filling the gaps when it comes to skin cancers

“Unfortunately, melanoma and skin cancer screening are not top of mind. Regular skin-checks do not get the same consideration as mammograms, PSA tests and other cancer screenings”

Falyn Katz | Executive Director, Melanoma Network of Canada

“Skin cancer is more serious than people think. Unfortunately, there is a considerable shortage of dermatologists and skin specialists in Canada and people are slipping through the cracks.”

Heidi Veluw | Executive Director, Canadian Skin Cancer Foundation

“Early detection is so important in skin cancer. Most forms of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer are much more easily treated when they are caught early.”

Natalie Richardson | Managing Director, Save your Skin Foundation.

“My concern [regarding virtual health] was about continuity-of-care. When patients get moved from one doctor to another doctor, especially virtually, errors can happen. But we have such a shortage of doctors in our parts that telemedicine is the only solution we have left.”

Jim Keizer | Retired Pharmacist, Iroquois Falls, Ontario.
