Lisa Lacasse: Major win for patients across New York

Lisa A. Lacasse, the President of American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, shared on LinkedIn:

“A BIG Congratulations to our American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) team in New York is in order! Today, Governor Kathy Hochul signed Senate Bill 1196a / Assembly Bill 1673a into law, securing a major win for patients across New York.
