April is National Cancer Prevention Month, and I’m proud to introduce legislation named in honor of my late mother, Nancy Gardner Sewell, to create a pathway for Medicare to cover essential cancer screenings.

Our legislation aims to open the door to a new era of detecting and treating cancer while ensuring our most vulnerable citizens are not left behind.

No family should have to face the devastating impact of a cancer diagnosis alone — or struggle to afford treatment — sign on now if you agree.

Early detection saves lives, allowing for prompt intervention and treatment and significantly improving the outcome for patients. The impact of late-stage cancer diagnoses are particularly magnified in communities of color and those living in rural America.

This legislation seeks to address these disparities by providing equitable access to screenings for all communities.

Add your name to my petition if you agree, we must take action to make strides in improving access to critical cancer screenings and addressing the disparities in cancer care for seniors across the country.
