Welcome to the skin screening activities of Pathology Services, P.C. You have probably seen information regarding FREE SKIN SCREENING visits. Skin cancer is increasing in Nebraska and we are doing our part to promote public awareness, early diagnosis and prompt treatment of skin cancers in Nebraska. It is important that you understand what these free skin screening visits are.

Pathology Services, P.C. does not have you fill out a complete history of your past medical illnesses at this visit. We also do not initiate a new medical record or chart. The purpose of this visit is basically to offer and give you a quick check to advise you if anything needs to be done with a particular lesion that you are concerned about. It is not intended to be a visit for treatment of your skin or skin lesion(s).

If your skin lesion(s) needs more evaluation and possible treatment and if you do not currently have a Nebraska primary care physician, through its network of healthcare professionals in Nebraska and, in conjunction with the Nebraska Skin Institute (a public-private partnership promoting skin wellness and skin cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment in Nebraska), Pathology Services, P.C. will refer you to local physicians and medical groups who are accepting new patients.

Thank you for taking the time to visit us. We hope your skin screening visit was informative, pleasant and enjoyable.

NEBRASKA SKIN INSTITUTE ™ is a public-private effort in healthcare services related to educating Nebraskans about proper skin care as well as the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions, including skin cancers. If you undergo a skin biopsy, the skin specimen may be sent to NEBRASKA SKIN INSTITUTE ™ and its affiliate, Pathology Services, P.C. for processing, evaluation, diagnosis, and inclusion in its database. Having your skin biopsy specimen(s) sent to Pathology Services, PC. is not required to avail yourself of the resources of NEBRASKA SKIN INSTITUTE ™. If your healthcare provider sends your skin biopsy specimen elsewhere, NEBRASKA SKIN INSTITUTE ™ would appreciate a copy of your pathology report to include its diagnosis in its Nebraska cancer registry. Ongoing national research furthers our efforts to continually improve skin disease diagnosis and treatment for Nebraskans.
