U.S. Representatives Jake Auchincloss (D-MA), Brendan F. Boyle (D-PA), and Mike Lawler (R-NY) introduced a bipartisan resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives to designate November 2024 as Lung Cancer Awareness Month. The initiative aims to draw attention to the importance of prevention, early detection, and research to curb lung cancer, which remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. In the United States Senate, the resolution is led by Senator Tina Smith (D-MN).
"Lung-cancer screening saves lives. The difference between early and late detection of a tumor is often a matter of life and death," said Rep. Auchincloss. "Washington needs to do more to advance awareness of screening and to support research and clinical care."
Bipartisan Resolution to Designate November 2024 as Lung Cancer Awareness Month
"Lung cancer impacts families and communities across the country. This resolution is an important step in raising awareness, encouraging preventative measures, and supporting groundbreaking research to save lives," said Rep. Boyle. "By coming together, we can ensure more Americans have access to the tools and resources needed to combat this devastating disease."
"Lung cancer is the deadliest and one of the most common forms of cancer," said Rep. Lawler. "We simply must do more to raise awareness and combat this deadly disease. That's why I'm joining Congressman Brendan Boyle in introducing a bipartisan resolution recognizing November as National Lung Cancer Awareness Month. One life lost to lung cancer is too many. Together, we can build a future where the devastation of lung cancer is no more."
The resolution highlights the need to increase public awareness campaigns, expand access to screening programs, and invest in life-saving research through federal agencies like the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
In accordance with MGL c. 30 section 39m, it is the intention of the Town of Franklin to retain the services of a company for the OXFORD SEWER LIFT STATION PUMP & CONTROLS IN-KIND REPLACEMENT project in the Town of Franklin.
