ACS CAN Reacts to Governor Cuomo's Cancer Plan

In his State of the State message today, Governor Cuomo announced a plan to help emphasize the importance of cancer screening and to make these screenings more readily available to all New Yorkers. Julie Hart New York State government relations director with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) released the following statement.

“It is the goal of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) to make cancer a priority of our government leaders. ACS CAN applauds Governor Cuomo for taking this bold step that will help women in their fight against breast cancer. Early detection of cancer means lives will be saved. By making the fight against cancer a priority, children will get to spend more time with their parents, parents will be able to watch their children grow, and grandparents will have more time to spend with their grandkids.

“We look forward to working with Governor Cuomo and the state legislature to help reach all women and men and to make life saving cancer screenings available to them.”
