Surviving & Thriving: From Melanoma Survivor to Sun Safety Advocate

In this episode, we speak with Ann Roseman, a melanoma survivor since 2020, who shares her personal journey with cancer and how it shaped her mission to advocate for sun safety. Ann’s background in Human Development and Family Studies, combined with her experience as a Certified Child Life Specialist, allowed her to make a meaningful impact in healthcare settings, creating programs and supporting families through tough times. After retiring from Hospice of the Valley, Ann turned her focus to preventing melanoma in her community, volunteering with AIM at Melanoma and educating the public about sun safety.

Ann also serves on the committee for the upcoming Phoenix Steps Against Melanoma walk, and her work continues to empower others to take proactive steps in protecting their skin. Tune in to hear about Ann’s personal story, her passion for prevention, and how she’s working to make a difference in the “Valley of the Sun.” Plus, we’ll hear about her volunteering work with Maggie, her certified therapy dog, bringing joy and support to children and families at local libraries.
