I am proud to join many individuals in recognizing the 30th anniversary of the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program. Over the past three decades, this program has served over 5 million women and provided over 15 million breast and cervical cancer screenings. The program currently funds 70 awardees in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, six U.S. territories, and 13 tribal organizations, which includes the West Virginia Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program in my home state. I am so thankful for all of those who work tirelessly at each of these programs. “As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I remain committed to ensuring funding for this vital program so it can continue its critical role in providing access to these medical services and help avoid often preventable deaths. Now, as we take this moment to look back at all the program has accomplished and the many who have been touched by it, it is essential we also look forward to continuing our fight against the disease which takes far too many of our mothers, sisters, daughters, and friends.
