La Roche-Posay's Dermatologist from the Heart Grant Winner Candrice R. Heath Making Strides to Prevent Skin Cancer in Skin of Color | ||

NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- After being awarded as a grant winner of the second annual La Roche-Posay-sponsored Dermatologist from the Heart Program in fall 2014, Dr. Candrice R. Heath has made significant developments in her proposal to provide health professionals education about skin cancer among ethnic minorities. To further raise awareness, Dr. Heath is leading the Frontline Skin Cancer Education Conference along with Ms. Eunice Cofie, a cosmetic chemist, at the Florida State Conference Center in Tallahassee, FL on December 5. Health care professionals will be trained on skin of color topics, including:
"It is a compelling idea that every person has a need for a skin check and there are only about 10,000 dermatologists in the US – they're not able to see the entire population," notes Dr. Heath. "We need more eyes, like those of primary care providers on the frontlines of healthcare, to help identify patients that need urgent referrals to dermatology." La Roche-Posay is looking for the next dermatologist program to support through the Dermatologist from the Heart. Entrants must submit a grant proposal to the La Fondation La Roche-Posay outlining the plan and a winner will be awarded with $10,000 to support carrying out their project. Applications for the 2015 program are currently under review, and the 2016 winner will be announced at the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery meeting in October.
