I got my quad flu shot today. Earlier than usual. I strongly recommend everybody get one in these Covid times, it is more important than ever. This is my public service announcement for the week.
Congratulations to my good friends, @MiaForRep & @MaryellnGoodwin, on receiving the National Distinguished Advocacy Award for their work to increase access to cancer screenings at this morning's @ACSCANRI #RIResearchBreakfast. Very well-deserved! https://t.co/ntBIhWDazS
I was honored to represent @RIHouseofReps to offer condolences to @RISenate on the passing of our dear friend & colleague, Sen. Maryellen Goodwin, who fought her 4-yr cancer battle with dignity & strength. She spoke about it openly to encourage others to undergo cancer screening. https://t.co/vIN0tpaXVg
Earlier today, @GovDanMcKee signed legislation sponsored in the House by @MiaForRep and named for Senate sponsor @MaryellnGoodwin. The Maryellen Goodwin Colorectal Screening Act requires full coverage of screenings and will save lives. https://t.co/324bymaCbk
Thank you to @BCBSRI for reversing its decision to start charging out-of-pocket costs for #COVID19 treatment. I appreciate BCBSRI’s willingness to listen to feedback and understanding that many people are dealing with incredible hardships during this time.
As my dear friend and colleague @MaryellnGoodwin noted, #coloncancer is one of the most survivable forms of cancer, but only if it is detected early. I support this bill 100 percent and look forward to a House floor vote soon. https://t.co/WVKLBHLPjh
Yesterday we celebrated a very exciting groundbreaking in Providence: the site of RI's new state health lab. The pandemic proved how critical it is to have a modern state health lab to meet our increased health demands. Our state sorely needed a new state-of-the-art facility. https://t.co/9GutX0Q70I
