Kathy Whittaker, Southeast Chapter Public Health Nurses, Massachusetts

CMPF has partnered with local public health nurses on educational grants, provided by the Blue Hills Community Health Alliance #20, to provide melanoma prevention education. We featured our anti-tanning video, Glenna’s Gift, at two American Public Health Association conventions to raise awareness about the relationship of indoor tanning and melanoma. In addition, CMPF has provided local workshops for school and oncology nurses, as well as published multiple peer-reviewed articles in the nursing literature.
We actively seek other professionals working in children’s athletics, recreation, and summer camps. For example, CMPF partnered with US SAILING in their SunAWARE at Sea Program providing presentations and resources for administrators, instructors, coaches, and boaters. More recently, we partnered with the MA Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) to provide programs, educational resources, and sunscreen to Boston Harbor Island staff, visitors and campers.
