Equipping Certified PAs  to Improve Health

PA SPOTLIGHT

Raising Awareness for Safe Fun in the Sun

In Sun Safe Central Florida, Certified PA Alyssa Hernandez Pena created awareness about the risks of skin cancer.  She promoted preventive education and provided sunscreen samples in creative locations, including beaches and local parks as well as primary care offices.  Recruiting PAs, PA students, and interprofessional partners, the project impacted over 5,000 youth and young adults in her local community.
