Savino’s message to women: Get tested for cancer
State senator seeks to raise awareness
Constituents who live in state Sen. Diane Savino’s district opened their mailboxes this week to find a brochure from the lawmaker. But the mailing wasn’t a campaign brochure.
The subject of the brochure was health, not politics.
The brochure, which contained facts and breast and ovarian cancer, is part of an effort by Savino (D-Coney Island-Bensonhurst-Staten Island) to raise awareness of these two types of cancer. Savino arranged for thousands of the brochures to be mailed out to constituents. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
