Stratford resident, American Cancer Society Hits Capitol with Cancer Promise in Hand
“We descended on the Capitol with the Cancer Promise in hand with the hope of securing support from our state leaders,” said Bryte Johnson, American Cancer Society Director of Government Relations. “With the early detection programs and prevention initiatives contained in the Comprehensive Cancer Plan, our state government will fulfill its fundamental responsibility to ensure that Connecticut residents have access to the quality cancer care they need and deserve.”
A bill currently under consideration by the General Assembly will provide the needed funding for the continuation of the Comprehensive Cancer Plan and programs, including tobacco cessation, breast and cervical cancer screening, and a lung cancer pilot program.
