Shannon’s Law
On Friday, August 2, 2019, Governor Andrew Cuomo enacted Shannon’s Law, sponsored by Senator Monica R. Martinez (D-Brentwood), a bill requiring insurance companies to cover annual mammogram screenings for New Yorkers ages 35 to 39 when it is deemed medically necessary. This legislation is named in honor of Shannon Saturno, a Babylon teacher who was diagnosed with breast cancer while pregnant and passed away at 32 years old. For more information, please visit:
