- Virginia to fund cancer screening program for firefighters
Virginia’s new budget allocates $2 million annually for cancer screenings for firefighters, addressing their heightened risk due to exposure to carcinogens. The initiative, supported by Governor Abigail Spanberger and lawmakers, aims to detect cancer early through grants for localities. Firefighters face risks from chemicals in gear and smoke, with some filing lawsuits over PFAS exposure linked to health issues.
