Pennsylvania: Leading the Fight Against Breast Cancer
My home state of Pennsylvania is doing AMAZING things to lead the way in the fight against breast cancer 🎀🥊
Act 1 of 2023
With nearly 14,000 individuals diagnosed each year, passing Act 1 of 2023 was a major milestone.
The legislation, passed thanks to survivor Senator Kim Ward, made PA the first state to eliminate out-of-pocket costs for BRCA-related genetic testing, counseling, and supplemental screenings for high-risk women.
“My personal experience with breast cancer presented me the opportunity to see where some gaps were; this legislature will have a huge positive affect on women’s health and lives.”
Breast Cancer Walk with My Support Squad
Last weekend, I participated in a local “Walk Fore The Cure” event to support the PA Breast Cancer Coalition, which has donated over $6 million to breast cancer research across the state.
I’m so proud to see my community and state taking bold steps to save lives and support survivors. 🫶
