Her family is one of several families that documented injury from a nearby cell tower leading to the Pittsfield Board of Health voting to send a cease and desist order to Verizon.

EHT’s new President, Dr. Kent Chamberlin, who served on the New Hampshire Commission to Study the Health and Environmental Effects of 5G was present for the proclamation.
