And a resolution authorizing the Committee on Public Health and Human Services to hold hearings examining the state of breast cancer incidence and mortality in Philadelphia; the impact of the closure of the Susan G.

Thank you, Mr. President. We know that breast cancer is particularly devastating in the African American and Latina communities, and with the closure of Susan G. Komen, while most of us were busy with other things in the last week or two, that's something that kind of slipped in unnoticed. So I wanted to make sure that people knew that this was happening and that there will be a ripple effect, but there's also opportunities here, how can we get in and reach a community that hasn't been reached. And so with all that being said, I move for the adoption of the resolution. (Duly seconded.) Stated Meeting November 12, 2020 11/12/20 - STATED - 2ND READING
It's been moved and properly seconded. All those in favor say aye. (Aye.)
Just a small, brief remark. Council President, I just want to acknowledge Councilwoman Cindy Bass for this resolution, and I got the phone call when we found out that they're going to be closing the Philadelphia office. And just so folks may or may not know, I work very closely with the Susan G. Komen Foundation here in the City of Philadelphia via my staff member, Tiphanie White in my office, and very supportive of them as relates to the work that they have been doing, and I want to thank Councilwoman Bass and Stated Meeting November 12, 2020 11/12/20 - STATED - 2ND READING hopefully all of us for rallying around making sure that the services that Susan G. Komen was providing. I want to acknowledge Allan Domb as well, because he's been working with Susan Komen as well around this issue. There are rising levels and a huge disparity of breast cancer, particularly with African American women, and they get younger and younger by the day. And just working with her group and being educated on how to help disparity even comes down to the type of care that the African American women receive versus women of non-African American and people of color descent. And so losing this office is a significant loss to the City of Philadelphia, and we should be rallying around this resolution to try to find ways to make sure that those people that are most vulnerable, in this particular case black and brown women, do not suffer as a result of a major organization being Stated Meeting November 12, 2020 11/12/20 - STATED - 2ND READING out there, educating, making sure women are getting mammograms, making sure they're being educated about how you should be getting tested as relates to the issue of breast cancer. And so, Councilwoman Bass, any way I can be supportive in pushing this issue and making sure we're supporting our women, let me know how I can be a part of your efforts, and thank you very much, Council President -
