Cancer Awareness and Education

Targeted outreach, aimed at raising awareness of the lifesaving benefits of early detection tests and exams is key in reducing cancer mortality.

Free Cancer Screenings

Almost 63% of uninsured Texas adults report they have no personal doctor (the fourth highest rate in the nation). Approximately 45% cannot afford to see a doctor when needed (the seventh highest rate in the U.S.).*

The Texas Cancer Council reports "the most important thing that individuals can do to reduce their chance of dying from cancer is to be screened."
