Keroack's office oversees family planning services provided through the Title X program. Services include breast and cervical cancer screening . Services are given on a sliding scale based on income, and no one is refused service based on inability to pay.
Keroack told his staff in a letter yesterday that he became aware of the action being taken against his private medical practice in Massachusetts. He said he immediately hired a lawyer to initiate an appeal. He did not elaborate on why the action was taken.
"My attorney feels confident that misunderstandings have occurred and that upon further review of the facts during the appeals process, this action will be reversed," he wrote. "However, the appeals process will present a significant distraction to my ability to remain focused on my duties."
