A Letter from the President

Dear Friends and Supporters,

As President of the Coalition for At-Risk Skin (CARS), I am proud to share the strides we have made this year in advancing our mission to protect and improve skin health for the most vulnerable populations. Through education, advocacy, and collaboration, CARS has continued to bring together clinicians, researchers, and community partners to tackle the complex challenges surrounding skin injury prevention and care. The dedication of our members and partners fuels our work, and each initiative we undertake reflects our shared commitment to improving quality of life for patients everywhere.

Looking ahead, CARS remains focused on expanding our reach, strengthening our educational programs, and advocating for evidence-based practices that prevent avoidable skin injuries. We are grateful for your continued engagement and support, which enable us to champion these essential efforts. Together, we can ensure that no at-risk individual is overlooked and that skin health remains an integral part of holistic patient care. On behalf of the Board, thank you for standing with CARS in this vital mission.

 

Sincerely,

Cathy Milne
