[Hopespringpcsg] FW: Open this email for support on your journey.

Hi all:

See below for the  weekly e-newsletter from HopeSpring.

Noteworthy is the “News” article  <https://hopespring.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=245009009133a608181d89b73&id=0395213bbb&e=ece80c31c3> Niagara Falls MPP Wayne Gates’ motion calling for OHIP to always cover prostate cancer screening tests approved.

In Dec 2019, 2 members of PCCN W-W (Ken Steele & Bill Faulkner) participated in an advocacy event sponsored by Minogue Medical Inc. (the Canadian representative of the Da Vinci medical robot used in robotic assisted prostatectomy) at Queen’s Park.

They brought back a petition by Wayne Gates wrt government funding of PSA testing & collected hundreds of signatures. 

This type of advocacy by PCCN W-W will hopefully payoff in more men getting a PSA test.

Take care & stay well.

We’d love to feature your and their stories of cancer journeys, including how HopeSpring helped. If you’d like to share their or your story, send a note to Katy at  <mailto:marketing at hopespring.ca> marketing at hopespring.ca.
