We’re disappointed by yesterday's vote to restrict access to the HPV vaccine—a safe, effective, lifesaving tool that prevents cancer. In a state facing a cancer crisis, this is the wrong direction. The bill now goes to the governor. #ACSCAN #Iowa #Cancer

✅ Big news: The House Appropriations Committee unanimously approved funding for pediatric cancer research at @uihealthcare—creating stable, ongoing support for lifesaving work. Next stop: House floor vote! #ACSCAN #Iowa #HawkeyeWave

The #IowaHealthInitiative advocates are at the Iowa Capitol today urging lawmakers to raise tobacco taxes—one of the most effective public health interventions to cut tobacco use, prevent youth addiction, and save lives. You can join them: https://t.co/UWW54SzFnI

📷Public health for the win: The proposed cigar bar exemption to the #SmokefreeAirAct has failed in the Iowa House, keeping #Iowa’s protections strong. Thank you to every advocate who spoke up. Your voices protected workers and strengthened cancer prevention efforts. #ACSCAN

[ACS CAN Iowa @ACSCANIowa]

New data shows 2/3 of #Iowa voters support raising the tobacco tax—and today we joined partners at the Capitol to talk about why this matters: It is the single most impactful public health policy to help reduce cancer and deaths. Period. #Cancer https://t.co/ovDQaZRMj4

This bill that the Senate passed would weaken Iowa’s Smokefree Air Act. Tell lawmakers: to oppose the cigar bar expansion bill.
