We believe no one should die from breast cancer simply because they can't afford a mammogram. The Rose has been committed to eliminating breast healthcare inequities for Southeast Texas women since its founding in 1986. The organization was founded by two pioneering women determined to provide comprehensive, quality breast care. The Rose provides mammograms, diagnostic work including biopsies, and access to treatment if needed to all women regardless of their ability to pay.  Each year approximately 7,000 uninsured women and men in our community come to The Rose for help. They have no other place to go. The Rose is the only nationally recognized nonprofit breast health organization in Texas that simultaneously serves the insured and the uninsured through a preventive, culturally sensitive, family-centered, and community-based approach. We have the highest ratings available from independent charity watchdog organizations. While we know we can’t stop breast cancer from happening, together, we can make a difference in whether an uninsured woman survives it.

Cancer isn't free -- especially if you're a young adult just starting out your life.

Created in 1998 by Lynne Cohen's three daughters, the mission of the Foundation is to support and enable collaborative, multi-institutional research combating ovarian cancer through prevention and early detection. The Lynne Cohen Foundation for Ovarian Cancer Research is a national nonprofit organization uniquely positioned to fight ovarian cancer. A network of preventive care clinics, a consortium of researchers from prestigious cancer centers around the country, and a national registry of high-risk patients from geographically diverse communities comprise the core of our direct efforts. From this multi-institutional research platform, we seek to increase survival rates for women with ovarian cancer by supporting research for the prevention and early detection of the disease.
