DERBY - D’Addario Automotive Group of Shelton recently donated more than $3,000 to The Valley Goes Pink Campaign to support breast health services in the area.

The donation will support education and outreach efforts to increase awareness about the importance of early detection and technology upgrades at The Hewitt Center for Breast Wellness at Griffin Hospital.

About The Hewitt Center for Breast Wellness 

The Hewitt Center for Breast Wellness at Griffin Hospital opened in 2011, combining state-of-the-art technology, a team of highly trained physicians and staff, and a Planetree healing environment to offer patients a comprehensive range of personalized breast care and wellness services.  

The Hewitt Center for Breast Wellness features two state-of-the-art digital mammography suites with 3D mammography (tomosynthesis) capability, a breast ultrasound suite, and advanced stereotactic biopsy. 

The Center also utilizes a rapid diagnostic model where patients are often given test results the same day imaging tests are performed, and if indicated, follow up testing (ultrasound, breast biopsy) and even consultation with a breast surgeon are often available the same day if the patient’s schedule permits. 

For more information, call 203-732-1300 or visit griffinhealth.org/cbw.

Klarides-Ditria urges end to ban on sale of gas-powered vehicles

Yesterday, I joined House Republican Leader Vincent Candelora and my colleagues to urge the governor and majority-party Democrats to "pump the brakes" on their plan to align CT law with policies decided thousands of miles away in California.   Under the guise of cleaner air, their latest plan will BAN the sale of new gas powered cars and trucks in Connecticut by 2035. Democrats want to strip your ability to choose and force us to abide by laws created and passed on the other side of the country.   Your chance to stop the ban on the sale of new gas-powered passenger vehicles is now!   The legislature's Regulations Review Committee, of which I am a member, will be taking up this issue on November 28th. I encourage you to contact Democrats who serve on the Regulation Review Committee and urge them to disapprove these emission standards, sending the topic to the full legislature for deliberation and a vote.   The email addresses for each committee member can be found here.   Take a brief survey and make your voice known.

Sincerely,
