Our Mission
SkinAware Foundation exists to expand access to safe, evidence-based skin cancer risk assessment and education for communities that have been historically left out: veterans, rural residents, and people with limited access to specialists.

- Veterans and military-connected families
- Rural and frontier communities
- Patients facing long waits to see a dermatologist
