"I consider it a privilege to be able to support legislative efforts that support women’s health and the health of all Pennsylvanians,” said Baker, chairman of the House Health Committee. “The work the PA Breast Cancer Coalition is doing is extraordinary and has made a difference in so many lives. I was truly honored and humbled to accept the Pink Ribbon Award, which I dedicate to my sister-in-law, who has had a long battle with breast cancer.”
Baker’s oral chemo parity legislation would help address the cost disparity between intravenous and oral anticancer treatments. The legislation, House Bill 60, has passed the House and is currently awaiting consideration in the Senate.
The Pink Ribbon Award is the organization’s highest honor.
