I had the opportunity to visit the Pennsylvania Capitol and meet with Senator Devlin Robinson. We discussed HB 281, legislation that would provide free prostate cancer screenings and help save lives through early detection.
It was an honor to ask questions, learn more about the bill's progress, and take photos with those working to move this important legislation forward.
I want to thank the American Cancer Society for the tremendous work they have done in helping bring awareness to this issue and for organizing Action Day in June 2026. Their advocacy continues to make a difference for men and families across Pennsylvania.
I also want to express my appreciation to Senator Robinson for his commitment and efforts in supporting this legislation. I understand that prostate cancer has touched his family personally, making this issue especially meaningful to him.
As a prostate cancer survivor and founder of the "What's Your PSA Level?" initiative, I remain hopeful that HB 281 will become law and help more men gain access to potentially life saving screenings.
Thank you, ACS, for allowing me to be a part of this important effort. Together, we can continue raising awareness and encouraging men to know their PSA level. It's a simple blood test that can save lives.
"What's Your PSA Level?" is proud to partner with the American Cancer Society! I was deeply honored to advocate for early detection and prostate cancer screenings at the recent "Hoops For Health" event. Working alongside the Jefferson Health Community Outreach Mobile Unit, I had the privilege of speaking directly with men in our community, encouraging them to take charge of their health and get tested right on the spot. Events like this prove that when we meet people where they are, we make a real difference. Shoutout to the DCHD team for hosting such a fantastic event! 👏🏾

Senator Comitta's Comments:
When it comes to cancer, early detection is critical to saving lives. I was glad to meet with Chester County residents at the Capitol about legislation that would help provide greater access to early detection measures for prostate and colorectal cancer and increased support for breast and cervical cancer detection.
Thank you to the advocates with the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network Pennsylvania - ACS CAN for all your good work and partnership for the health and well-being of our communities
"In 2020, I built this deck despite having a rising PSA level with no noticeable symptoms at the time. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns, scheduling a doctor's appointment proved impossible.
