Members of the Delaware Prostate Cancer Coalition (DPCC) had a lot to celebrate today as we recognized the passage of HB 302. The bill requires “all group, blanket and individual health insurance policies to cover prostate screening for men at high risk for prostate cancer who are over the age of 40. Men at high risk for prostate cancer means African American men or those with a family history of prostate cancer.” We were joined by Delaware legislators who supported the bill and members of Bayhealth Hospital.
