Doug Dibble’s Story To these young hockey players, it was the biggest save ever. Michael and Steven Dibble wanted their dad (and coach) to get well quickly. As did the staff at Flower Hospital. So when Doug Dibble arrived there with signs of a heart attack, the Emergency Center staff quickly stabilized his condition. He was then transported via ProMedica Mobile to the advanced cardiac care unit at The Toledo Hospital. Angioplasty surgery followed, plus several days in intensive care. But the news was good: Doug Dibble – husband, father of two and coach of 15 – survived. More about Doug's story

Judi Young’s Story Her road to recovery started with us. Not everyone has their name on a street sign. But Judi Young has been a driving force in Sylvania since 1978. For more than 20 years she served as a city council member, concerned with upgrading the downtown and initiating new recreation and senior services. Judi cares about her community – a feeling she knows we share at Hickman Cancer Center. When doctors recognized melanoma on her knee, Judi immediately turned to the ProMedica Cancer Institute, a member of ProMedica Health System. More about Judi’s story

Am I At Risk for Melanoma?

There is really no way to know for sure if you’re going to get melanoma. Certain factors can make you more likely to get melanoma than another person. However, just because you have one or more risk factors does not necessarily mean you will get melanoma. In fact, you can have all the risk factors and not get melanoma. Or, you can have no known risk factors and still get this cancer.

Your chance of developing melanoma increases with age.
