October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. ๐ Each year, the @pabreastcancer turns the capitol fountain pink to raise awareness and show support for every life that has been touched by breast cancer.
With the passage of Act 1 of 2023, ensuring that Pennsylvanians see no out-of-pocket costs for diagnostic breast imaging, the commonwealth has become a national leader in early detection for breast cancer. One in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, and early detection has a 99% 5-year survival rate, so consistent mammograms are essential.

It is an honor to have a hand in preserving history and it was a great privilege to celebrate the designation of the Leroy Freeman Berkebile Memorial Bridge.
As a Somerset County native, Captain Berkebile left behind a remarkable legacy of bravery and service. May future generations see this bridge and remember his inspiring story.
