Michigan Legislature: Restore Funding for Cancer Prevention

The Issue

The Health and Wellness Fund has been a primary source of cancer prevention funding for Michigan. In the late 1990s, the fund included over $6 million per year for cancer prevention programs.

This year, the Michigan Legislature eliminated all state funds for the Cancer Prevention Program, gutting an important program that saved lives and money for our state. We can’t eliminate cancer by eliminating funding for prevention.

Tell the Michigan Legislature to restore funding to the Michigan Cancer Prevention Program.
