Komen expanding screening, diagnostics program from 9 to 12 cities, including Dallas
Officials with Susan G. Komen announced this week that the organization is expanding its screening and diagnostics program from nine cities to 12, allowing income-eligible residents in Dallas — as well as Los Angeles and Memphis — to access no-cost breast cancer screening and diagnostic services.
The program is already operating in Fort Worth and Houston here in Texas, along with Atlanta, Chicago, Madison, Wisc., Marshfield Wisc., Philadelphia, Virginia Beach and Washington, D.C.
Residents can access services through Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, Moncrief Cancer Institute in Fort Worth and Methodist Neal Cancer Center in Houston.
The Komen screening and diagnostics program is provided through the Komen Patient Care Center. Individuals who meet income qualifications will be able to access no-cost breast cancer screening mammograms and any necessary diagnostic follow-up tests.
