Dr. Kari Cataldo will lead the Beyond the Pink Ribbon® Advocacy Training, focused on how to engage with your state and US senators and representatives to ask for their support of bills related to breast cancer and women’s health. Gail’s Law was recently introduced in the Wisconsin state legislature, and advocates sharing their personal stories and explaining the importance of the bill will help to get it passed. This bill will ensure cost free coverage of medically necessary supplemental screenings and diagnostic tests (like MRI, ultrasound, etc.) for women who have a suspicious finding or are at high risk for breast cancer due to dense breast tissue, personal medical history or family history/genetics. Also, this training will briefly cover how to express your support for our federal legislative priorities, including Medicaid (Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Act), Medicare (Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act), and Research (Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program). Registration is open to anyone interested in advocacy, and there is no obligation or future time commitment. It will simply give you the tools to be more effective when calling, writing, or meeting your senators and representatives. There will be a 40-minute presentation, followed by questions and answers. We hope to see you there!
