KPRC 2 and our Community partners at Energy Transfer and Houston Christian University are spotlighting The Rose in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Rose is raising awareness across cultures where conversations about the body and health are often silenced. The campaign invites women to participate by talking about their breasts and helping to spread the word that 40 is the age at which every woman should begin receiving screening mammograms.
One way The Rose is helping women fight breast cancer is by providing easy access to healthcare with The Rose mobile. There are five luxury mobile coaches in 43 counties across Southeast Texas equipped with an examination suite and the latest breast cancer screening technology – 3D mammography. These coaches can be booked in advance by companies or organizations. Three insured patients can help The Rose offer services to an uninsured patient. In 2022, The Rose provided services for more than 7,100 uninsured patients in the greater Houston area.
