FREE Skin Cancer Screenings (Rio Rancho)

Free - Patients will be seen on a walk-in basis. Anyone who has checked in by 11:30 am will be screened that day.

Whether it’s enjoying some open space or working under a wide blue sky, New Mexicans often find their way outside. Basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas are the far more common types of skin cancers found in New Mexico, and they can affect anyone. Both types are thought to be related to lifetime sun exposure.

Take advantage of this skin cancer screening in Albuquerque, NM. Screenings will be conducted on a first come, first served basis; no appointments are necessary. UNM medical students will assist people at the events and provide in-depth skin cancer education to everyone who attends. People will be given a report detailing their exam findings and options for follow-up appointments with providers in the state, including those at the UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center and other locations.
