Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato recently marched with cancer survivors and advocates for Aesthetic Flat Closure — also known as a flat chest wall — at the 20th anniversary event for the Middle Village Relay for Life. The assemblywoman was joined by survivors — or “thrivers,” as she called them — to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the passage of her historic legislation that fully authorized insurance coverage for aesthetic flat closure across the state.
With the enactment of her legislation, New York became the first state in the nation to provide this right to women.
