Expanding Access to Skin Care on Marco Island

NCH Healthcare System continues to strengthen access to specialized medical services on Marco Island through partnerships designed to bring care directly into the community. One such collaboration includes OnSpot Dermatology, a mobile dermatology provider offering convenient, high-quality skin care across Southwest Florida.

OnSpot Dermatology delivers care through a fleet of seven 40-foot, state-of-the-art mobile clinics stationed throughout Florida. Each unit is equipped with private exam rooms, allowing patients to receive professional, confidential care without the need to travel long distances or face extended wait times. In addition to its mobile services, OnSpot also operates brick-and-mortar offices in The Villages, Orlando, and Fort Myers.

By bringing medical services directly into residential neighborhoods and partnering with local organizations, employers, schools, and government groups, OnSpot helps remove common barriers to care. Patients can receive skin cancer screenings, general dermatology evaluations, and treatment for common skin conditions conveniently and efficiently.

“Partnering with innovative providers like OnSpot Dermatology allows us to meet patients where they are,” NCH Community Engagement Specialist, Hilles Hughes, said. “This collaboration ensures both year-round and seasonal residents on Marco Island can access timely specialty care close to home.”

Through this community-based model, OnSpot Dermatology has cared for more than 190,000 patients statewide. The organization has treated over 14,000 skin cancers, including more than 900 melanomas, as well as nearly 7,000 precancerous lesions. Many of these cases were identified in early stages, when treatment is most effective and outcomes are significantly improved. Following an especially busy season in Southwest Florida, those numbers continue to rise.

Early detection and preventative care remain central to OnSpot’s mission. By simplifying access to screenings, the provider aims to help patients catch potential issues sooner, often before symptoms appear.

For some, the impact has been life changing.

“During a routine visit in my community, the provider found a spot I hadn’t been concerned about,” one patient shared. “It turned out to be skin cancer, and because it was caught early, treatment was straightforward. I’m incredibly grateful — it truly made a difference.”

Marco Island residents have also welcomed the convenience of the mobile clinics.

“Having OnSpot come right into our Marco Island community makes it so much easier to stay on top of your health,” another resident said. “You don’t have to deal with traffic or long waits, and the care feels just as thorough as any office I’ve been to.”

OnSpot Dermatology visits Marco Island several times each year and remains committed to supporting the community through accessible, neighborhood-based dermatologic care. The mobile clinic will be at the NCH campus on Marco Island, located at 40 S. Heathwood Drive, on Thursday, April 30.
