Did you know that Louisiana ranks second in the nation for breast cancer deaths? And that deaths from breast and cervical cancers occur disproportionately among women who are uninsured or underserved?  

Unfortunately, the program that provides critical screening and treatment services to these women is facing cuts that could leave them without options.

Please sign this petition to FULLY FUND the Louisiana Breast and Cervical Health Program and tell your legislators that ALL women MUST be protected!

Contact your legislators today!

This is just wrong. Healthcare is not a luxury. Keep the funding.
