Residents of Morovis, Puerto Rico, will receive free dermatology services on Saturday, November 21, during a clinic organized by Fundación Piel Puerto Rico in collaboration with the town. The event will run from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM at the Baltasar Corrada del Río municipal building, and patients will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis.
Mayor Carmen Maldonado González urged residents to take advantage of the initiative, which seeks to ease access to evaluations and specialized services for people with skin conditions. The clinic has the backing of Ponce Health Sciences University, the Dermatology Department of the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine and other health-sector entities. Fundación Piel Puerto Rico runs the Dermatology 360 program, through which it offers mobile clinics, consultations, diagnoses, treatments and free medications to communities with limited access to dermatology services.
