🐖 October is Pork Month!
This month, we’re celebrating Pennsylvania’s hardworking pork producers and the important role they play in our agricultural industry and local economy. From our family farms to our dinner tables, Pennsylvania’s pork industry helps feed our communities and supports countless jobs across the Commonwealth.
As Chairman of the Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee, I’m proud to recognize the farmers and farm families who work hard every day to keep Pennsylvania agriculture strong.
This October, join me in thanking our pork producers for all they do! 🐷🌾
It was great meeting with Anastasia Kaffenes from Beaver during the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Advocacy Day in Harrisburg.
I appreciate Anastasia taking the time to meet and share her perspective on issues important to women’s health and the medical professionals who provide care across Pennsylvania. Hearing directly from people in our communities helps us better understand the challenges they face and how we can work together to address them
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this month we’re turning the fountain pink to help raise awareness and show our support for those affected by breast cancer.
Like so many families, mine has been touched by breast cancer. My mom experienced breast cancer, and I know firsthand how difficult and frightening a diagnosis can be for a family.
I was also glad to have Patrick Carney, Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Dairymen’s Association, join us with some delicious strawberry milkshakes as we turned the fountain pink and brought the community together for this important cause.
One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. But when detected at its earliest stages, the five-year survival rate is more than 90%.
This October, I encourage the important women in your life to schedule their mammogram and take charge of their health. Early detection can save a life.
Let’s turn the fountain pink, spread the word and stand together in the fight against breast cancer. 💗
