In February of 2024, the MRF launched its first webinar series dedicated to exploring challenges that rural melanoma patients uniquely face as they seek care and treatment. During this first iteration, the panel examined what the patient experience may look like for those getting their skin checked, the potential barriers to access of care they may encounter, how that impacts the overall health outcome of this community and what is being done on the policy level to address this health equity issue.
