The Department of Dermatology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center is a sponsor of the 2023 Memphis Miles for Melanoma 5K set for Saturday, June 3, at Shelby Farms Park.
“The faculty and staff in the Department of Dermatology at UTHSC care deeply about skin cancer and melanoma awareness, research, and treatment,” said Whitney Gadd Shroyer, MD, assistant professor in the Department of Dermatology. “Being a sponsor for the race is a way for us to give back to our community and support our patients with melanoma and their families.”
After participating in the race for many years, this year the department has joined local and national sponsors as a sponsor in the event’s second return following the COVID-19 pandemic. The event is a part of the nationwide Miles for Melanoma series to support the Melanoma Research Foundation. The Melanoma Research Foundation is the largest independent organization devoted to melanoma, committed to the support of medical research in finding effective treatments and a cure for melanoma, and advocating for the melanoma community. The funds raised will support melanoma research, education, and advocacy.
