Dear David,
Hope all is well. I'm writing today to let you know about an opportunity
for firefighters to get a free skin cancer screening.
DetecTogether has partnered with UMassMemorial Health and the Worcester
Red Sox to offer a free skin screening clinic at Polar Park for
firefighters on August 24 from 4-8pm. We welcome all Massachusetts
firefighters to sign up for the event. Please forward this email to
members of your department and any others who you think may be interested.
*Cancer screenings are an important part of early detection; and early
detection saves lives!*
The event will be as follows:
* We have the capacity to screen 165 firefighters for skin cancer for
FREE. All firefighter participants will receive a FREE ticket to a
WooSox game (game date tbd)
* Firefighters needing follow up with dermatology will be scheduled on
site in clinics specially reserved for firefighters.
* Firefighters can also complete a questionnaire to determine f they
need a colonoscopy (45 or older, family history of colon cancer,
symptoms, etc) Gastroenterologists and surgeons from UMass will be
there to answer questions about colonoscopies. Schedulers will be on
site to book firefighters for special colonoscopy clinics reserved
for firefighters. Any scheduled colonoscopies are not free, and will
be billed to insurance/patient.
* The Department of Fire Services will be there to provide guidance on
enrolling firefighters in FREE lung cancer screenings and prostate
cancer screening (chest CT scans and PSA blood tests).
Here's how to sign up:
1. Firefighters need to sign up for the skin screening using the
Department of Fire Service's learning management system.

have attached directions for firefighters to sign up in the document
called *skinscreening sign up no code*.
2. The slots available to your department are at the 15 minute and 45
minute intervals - 4:15, 4:45, 5:15, 5:45, 6:15, 6:45, 7:15, 7:45). The
slots will be filled on a first come, first served basis, so please
encourage your members to sign up soon. Other neighboring departments

station about the event. It's 11x17.
4. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled timeslot in order to
