The Sun Bus

The Sun Bus is a U.S. nonprofit mobile dermatology clinic and education program focused on skin cancer prevention, early detection, and public health outreach. Operating under the Colorado Melanoma Foundation, it provides free skin screenings, sun-safety education, and sunscreen samples at community events across multiple states. The organization does not develop therapeutics; instead, it delivers preventive dermatology services and research-oriented screening programs aimed at reducing the burden of skin disease, including melanoma and other skin cancers. Its model combines mobile care delivery, community engagement, and referral support for patients needing follow-up dermatologic evaluation.
