The U.S. House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee recently passed the Screening for Communities to Receive Early and Equitable Needed Services (SCREENS) for Cancer Act.
Approved by the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions in December 2023, the legislation now awaits approval by the full U.S. Senate and House, along with President Joe Biden's signature, to become law.
Valerie Nelson, Manager of Federal Policy & Advocacy at Susan G. Komen, spoke with AuntMinnie.com about the act and its goals. Komen recently issued a statement applauding the passing of the act by the subcommittee.
