Support maintaining funding for the BCCEDP at $2.563 million annually so that we can continue to address gaps in breast and cervical cancer screenings caused by the pandemic.
We cannot allow the pandemic-driven drop in cancer screenings to continue.
As we emerge from the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, we must face the reality that, for three years, countless people have delayed potential lifesaving cancer screenings. That is why I met with Pennsylvania state legislators as a part of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network’s Cancer Action Day. Together with over 70 cancer patients, survivors and advocates, we urged lawmakers to make access to breast and cervical cancer screenings a top priority this session.
I’m grateful my legislators Senator Greg Rothman and Representative Sheryl M. Delozier sat down with me and listened as I explained how critical the Pennsylvania Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program is in the fight to end all suffering and death from cancer. As a cancer survivor, I understand the power in early detection. With cancer screenings, such as those offered by the BCCEDP, we can detect cancer early and prevent late-stage disease. I’ve lost far too many friends to cancers that could’ve been detected and addressed earlier—if not prevented altogether. Unfortunately, many under- and uninsured Pennsylvanians face barriers to screening.
I let Sen. Rothman and Rep. Delozier know that I want them to support maintaining funding for the BCCEDP at $2.563 million annually so that we can continue to address gaps in breast and cervical cancer screenings caused by the pandemic.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
