I was deeply honored to represent the American Cancer Society, advocating for early detection and prostate cancer screenings. Working alongside the Jefferson Health Community Outreach Mobile Unit, I had the privilege of speaking directly with several men and encouraging them to take charge of their health by getting tested right on the spot.
Events like this prove that when we meet people where they are, we can make a real difference. Fantastic job, DCHD team for hosting Hoops For Health! 👏🏾

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
