• Students Receive Raritan Proclamation Supporting Work to Add Lung Cancer to List of Cancer Screenings Covered by State (tapinto.net) — Raritan Borough council recently honored Bridgewater-Raritan High School students with a proclamation backing their push to add lung cancer screening to a key state health program. Their initiative, now before a state health committee, aims to expand free screenings for first responders, veterans, and active-duty military, and the council's support could help move the bill toward a full legislative vote.
