Local 22 has produced a “Cancer Awareness” Video that tells the story of 2 of our own and the daily struggles they face. John Larkin and Mike Polek were brave enough to share their stories so others can learn.

Local 22’s Health Plan recognizes that our members are more likely to have contact with cancer causing exposures then the general population.
Local 22’s Health Plan has also started to offer Lung Cancer Screening to “Retiree members of the Health Plan” in June with the intention to make it available in the2020 to the Active members through Temple University Hospital. Lung Cancer Screenings can be scheduled by calling (215) 707-8800 – Monday – Friday – 8:00am to 6:00pm
Due to the high demand and past participation in previous Ultra Sound Screenings held at the Union Hall – Local 22’s Health Plan is hoping to finalize arrangements to offer another round of Screenings in the Spring of 2020.
