During the summer months, Brown Dermatology began a public service campaign to call attention to the dangers of skin cancer. Through informative videos, physicians explained the risk of over exposure to the sun’s damaging rays and discussed how everyone, regardless of skin tone, is susceptible to sun damage. Clinicians also discussed some basic preventative measures that should be taken to keep people of all ages safe when enjoying the sun and the outdoors.

Keeping the public informed regarding the latest health news, as well as helping to keep individuals and families healthy is a hallmark of Brown Physicians. We plan to continue creating public service announcements and videos across all our foundations.  

We are committed to ensure the public is made aware of important medical care and preventative steps that can be taken to improve outcomes.
