Ahead of a vote on S2032 in the Senate HHS Committee, ACS CAN and our partners are respectfully urging the @RIHouseofReps to bring H7276 for a vote. Together, we can ensure more Rhode Islanders can get screened for breast cancer. Thank you! @CBlazejewski @repkazarian
ICYMI: See this story by @LocalEHartley on our event last week calling for the passage of no-cost follow-up breast screenings (H7276 / S2032) Hear from Aleks C., an advocate from Rumford, on what this means to him: @CBlazejewski @repkazarian eastbayri.com/stories/rumfor…?

Hear from a board-certified radiologist on why the @RISenate & @RIHouseofReps must pass S2032 / H7276 this session! This bill would eliminate cost-sharing for vital breast screenings. RI bill would ensure breast testing not delayed due to cost | Opinion providencejournal.com/story/…
