.American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network calls on Governor Mike DeWine to veto language that removes local control, which allows local gov't to pass laws stronger than the state. Amid the growing youth tobacco epidemic, we need local laws to protect our kids, not state interference. #ohleg fightcancer.org/releases/its-g…
Thank you Natalie Fahmy for interviewing me about this important issue! Ohio can and must do better to protect our communities, especially our kids from Big Tobacco. #OhioFightsCancer
I'm raising money to support the advocacy and policy goals of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN). You can use this link to make a donation to honor or remember a loved one who has been touched by cancer: do.nr/qnjx8u via DonorDrive
Big Tobacco has been working hard to addict future generations with candy- and fruit-flavored products, including e-cigs. I call on CleCityCouncil to quickly pass this critical ordinance & protect our youth from a lifetime of addiction. clevelanddotcom cleveland.com/letters/2023/1…
Thank you, Sherrod Brown, for cosponsoring the Medicare #MCED Screening Coverage Act. We appreciate your commitment to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. Together, we can create a world where everyone has access to multi-cancer early detection screening to save more lives.
"The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network condemns the House for not standing up for the health of Ohioans and putting our children at greater risk of becoming Big Tobacco’s next customers," said Leo Almeida, #ACSCAN, gov't relations director. #OHleg fightcancer.org/releases/ohio-…
Glad to hear Governor Mike DeWine talk about the need for a statewide policy on flavored tobacco products and call on the Ohio General Assembly to act. Do our legislators have the courage to stand up to Big Tobacco?
The goal is to change that by leveling the playing field so any Ohioan who is diagnosed with cancer and needs biomarker testing to determine the best treatment will have insurance to cover it. Tonisha Johnson | Weekend Anchor-Reporter Spectrum News 1 OH Leo Almeida spectrumnews1.com/oh/cincinnati/…
.American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network extends its gratitude to Andrea White for sponsoring this critical next step in ensuring cancer patients have access to precision medicine and looks forward to seeing the full House pass this vital legislation soon. #OhioFightsCancer fightcancer.org/releases/house…
The biomarker testing bill in Ohio (HB 24) passed committee unanimously! This bill will help Ohioans who are battling cancer. We need Speaker Speaker Jason Stephens to bring this up for a full vote of the Ohio House of Representatives ASAP! #OhioFightsCancer
Glad to see the Ohio Legislature provide capital funding for the American Cancer Society’s Cleveland Hope Lodge, which provides free lodging for cancer patients during treatment. Our advocates at ACS CAN Ohio did a great job reaching out to legislators about this capital funding project!
A recent poll by the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network shows that 8 in 10 (87%) Ohio voters view a candidate’s position on access to affordable, comprehensive health coverage as a vote-determining factor. #CancerVotes fightcancer.org/releases/new-p…
