Ellsworth signs American Cancer Society Congressional Cancer Promise

According to http://www.courierpress.com/news U.S. Rep. Brad Ellsworth (D-Ind.) is now one of a handful of Indiana congressmen who have signed the American Cancer Society Congressional Cancer Promise.

“It is officially signed. I will do my part,” Ellsworth said to a group of applauding supporters Monday at the Old National Bank headquarters in Evansville.

With his signature, Ellsworth pledged to make health system reform a priority, improve access to care, increase funding for cancer research and promote prevention, early detection and survivorship.

With the stroke of a pen, he joined three congressmen in Indiana, 15 in Illinois and four in Kentucky who are among the legislators supporting the cancer promise, according to the American Cancer Society.
