Free Skin Cancer Screening for Maine Lobstermen and Their Families

The Maine Lobstermen’s Association (MLA) is proud to partner with Northeast Dermatology Associates to offer a FREE skin cancer screening exclusively for Maine lobstermen and their families on Wednesday, May 14, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.

The event will be held at Northeast Dermatology Associates, 125 Presumpscot Street, Suite #18, Portland, ME.

Free parking is available, and the entrance is located behind the Bureau of Motor Vehicles building.

No appointment is necessary—screenings will be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis, but an RSVP is appreciated to help with planning.

Participants will receive a brief, 10-minute screening from Dr. Meaghan Daly and Jordan Waddell, PA-C, who will also provide education on the signs of skin cancer and sun safety. These screenings are vital for the fishing community, which faces elevated risks of skin cancer due to prolonged exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the U.S. and routine checks and early detection can save lives—especially for those who work outdoors.

This is an opportunity to learn how to protect your skin, recognize potential warning signs, and take steps to prevent long-term sun damage.
