Senate Supports Cancer Screening Pilot Program for Firefighters

CONCORD, NH – Senator Sharon Carson (R-Londonderry), issued the following statement today on the Senate passing SB 352-FN-A, establishing an early detection cancer screening pilot program for active and retired firefighters:

“Our firefighters face a severe cancer risk by doing their jobs. Having an early screening and detection program at their disposal could be lifesaving for them. This pilot program will be vital for our first responders who put their lives on the line to protect our communities. I am grateful my Senate colleagues passed this legislation for Granite State firefighters.”
