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.
