Self Exam DVD

Skin cancer is almost always treatable if found early. A skin self exam should be conducted every month and a doctor should perform a yearly skin cancer examination. Through an innovative technique produced by HealthiNation, a digital health education network, the self exam dvd walks the non-medical person through the easy steps of a skin self exam with animated video of the skin.

The self exam dvd is given out when people sign up for “Body Check” a monthly e-mail which reminds them to perform their self skin cancer exam. Yearly during the month of their birthday a reminder will be sent for them to “check their birthday suit” and visit the medical doctor. It is also available on our website.

As Shonda says, “This video has everything. It answer the questions and shows them how to protect themselves or how to take of themselves. That’s more important, because we might think about it but not know how to act on it, and this just gives an easier way to act on it and become more aware of skin cancer.”
