CONCORD — Governor Kelly Ayotte launched the first day of testing for New Hampshire’s Firefighters First Cancer Screening Initiative alongside public safety leaders, cancer advocates and fire chiefs from across the state. The State has invested $5 million in the program, which was approved by the governor and council in December 2025.
“We’ve lost too many of our firefighters far too young as a result of the hazards of their job,” said Governor Ayotte. “I’m proud to launch this cancer screening pilot program today to ensure the men and women who put their lives on the line for our safety get the care they need. Early detection saves lives, and New Hampshire will continue to support our firefighters and ensure they have access to these critical screenings.”
