U of L Nursing Students Organize Skin Caner Awareness Event at Hotel Louisville

     Working with our friends from Norton Healthcare, a group of University of Louisville nursing students organized a skin cancer awareness event for the benefit of the women in our Sober Living Program.  According to the American Cancer Society, skin cancer is the most common of all cancers. It accounts for nearly half of all cancers in the United States. More than 3.5 million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in this country each year. Early detection saves lives.  Lindsay, a U of L nursing student scheduled to graduate in early August, explained, “Partnering with Norton Healthcare to provide education and health screenings has been an exciting and rewarding experience.  These wonderful women are extremely fun to work with and take a real interest in participating in their own health.”  Many thanks to all of the University of Louisville nursing students who participated in this preventative care event.  Currently, Wayside Christian Mission partners with fourteen universities, colleges, and seminaries.  Our work with students is making a notable impact on the lives of Louisville’s homeless population.
