The March 17, 2010, issue briefing in the Cannon House Office Building was truly remarkable. Representative Kathy Dahlkemper (D-PA), pictured, spoke about her House Resolution (HR 1053) which raises awareness of colon cancer in women. Also, Theresa Vawter the health legislative assistant from the Office of Kay Granger (R-TX) presented facts related to HR 1189, the Colorectal Cancer Prevention, Early Detection, and Treatment Act. Dr. Morris from C3 served as moderator for the panel which presented the importance of screenings, and the barriers that many face in receiving these lifesaving services.
