Plastic Surgery & Skin Specialists by BayCare Clinic Donates Free Sunscreen Dispensers to Combat Skin Cancer

Sunstation Park

Plastic Surgery & Skin Specialists by BayCare Clinic has announced the installation of eight free sunscreen dispensers across key locations in Green Bay. This investment in Sunstation USA dispensers during Skin Cancer Awareness Month aims to promote sun safety and prevent skin cancer within the community.

Sunstation USA dispensers offer a convenient solution for individuals to access high-quality, eco-friendly and reef-safe SPF 30 broad-spectrum sunscreen. The weather-resistant, touch-free units are anticipated to be installed over Memorial Day Weekend and are strategically placed at popular outdoor locations, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the outdoors worry-free.

Green Bay locations include:

  • Bay Beach:
    • Ticket Line
    • Roller Coaster
    • Train
    • Ferris Wheel
  • The Children’s Museum of Green Bay (2 stations)
  • Green Bay Saturday Farmers Market
  • BayCare Clinic Century Ride Picnic (temporary station)

The initiative comes in response to statistics from the Skin Cancer Foundation, revealing that 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by age 70, and more than 2 people die of skin cancer in the U.S. every hour. Additionally, having 5 or more sunburns doubles the risk for melanoma.

“The installation of these sunscreen dispensers highlights our commitment to promoting skin health,” said Dr. Elizabeth O’Connor, plastic surgeon and managing partner at Plastic Surgery & Skin Specialists by BayCare Clinic. “We believe that by making sunscreen accessible in outdoor areas, we can encourage sun-safe habits and ultimately save lives.”

Plastic Surgery & Skin Specialists by BayCare Clinic encourages everyone to take advantage of these free sunscreen dispensers and prioritize sun protection while enjoying outdoor activities. Their providers are accepting new patients with skin cancer or concerns regarding sun damage to the skin.
