Overview
The Rose runs a program that gives free breast cancer screenings and diagnostic tests to women without health insurance. Last year, they provided over 15,600 free procedures to low-income Houston women. This matters because breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women, and early detection saves lives. Without insurance, a mammogram can cost $300 or more - money many families don't have. The Rose removes these money barriers so all women can get life-saving care. This program directly impacts Houston neighborhoods where many residents work jobs without health benefits or can't afford insurance premiums. Early breast cancer screening means catching cancer when it's most treatable. This keeps our mothers, sisters, and daughters healthy and in our community longer. The program serves women throughout the Houston area, including underserved communities where health resources are often limited. To get involved, call The Rose directly to schedule a free screening if you don't have insurance. You can also support this program by donating or volunteering. The Rose welcomes everyone regardless of background or ability to pay. Their founding principle is simple: those with insurance help cover costs for those without. This community approach ensures no woman goes without breast health care because of money.
