March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a reminder that early detection saves lives. I’m proud that my bipartisan Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act has been signed into law, expanding access to innovative screening technologies that can detect cancers like colorectal cancer earlier, when treatment is most effective. As a physician, I’ve seen firsthand the difference early detection makes. This law will help save lives and give more families a better chance at beating cancer. Get Screened!

Thank you @repmmm for your leadership getting the MCED though!

Every woman deserves a fighting chance. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I’m fighting to make early detection accessible for every family. That’s why I cosponsored the Nancy Gardner Sewell Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act, because early detection saves lives.

Far too many lives are lost because cancer isn’t caught early enough. Early detection saves lives, which is why I’m proud to cosponsor H.R. 842, the Nancy Gardner Sewell Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act, to expand access to screenings and give more Americans a fighting chance.

@UKinUSA Thank you @UKinUSA! 😉

🇺🇸 Enjoy your big day! Honestly...

Glad to be part of a delegation presenting @RepMMM with the Accountability for Middlemen Award today for her leadership on #PBMReform! Thank you for putting #patients over PBM profits!

Today, I welcomed Michael O’Mara — a 7th grader from Moville — and his family to the U.S. Capitol. Michael just won second place at the National Civics Bee and $25,000. He told me that, one day, he wants to be a Congressman! I have no doubt that he would make a great one! #IA04
