About this organization
Mission
The Rose has been committed to eliminating breast health care 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 for all women regardless of their ability to pay. The mission-driven plan was to create a nonprofit organization utilizing reimbursements from insurance fees to cover the cost of operations and donations and grants to cover the cost to care for the uninsured. 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. A high-capacity organization, The Rose is the highest volume, breast health, safety net provider in the region, with an unusually broad reach, bringing critical health and human services to 81 counties in Southeast Texas.
About
THE ROSE PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE IS PROVIDING ACCESS TO BREAST HEALTH CARE BY OFFERING DIRECT MEDICAL SERVICES AND ACCESS TO TREATMENT REGARDLESS OF THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY. THE EMPOWER HER SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM ENSURES THAT UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED WOMEN HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME STANDARD OF COMPASSIONATE, HIGH QUALITY BREAST HEALTH CARE AS THE INSURED. THE EMPOWER HER PROGRAM OFFERS A CONTINUUM OF CARE THAT STARTS WITH COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND EDUCATION AND THEN MOVES INTO PROVIDING DIRECT MEDICAL SERVICES INCLUDING MAMMOGRAPHY SCREENING, DIAGNOSTIC EXAMS AND BIOPSIES AND FINALLY ACCESS TO TREATMENT AND FOLLOW-UP WHEN A WOMAN IS DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER. SPONSORSHIP IS PROVIDED TO WOMEN MEETING LOW INCOME, UNINSURED OR UNDERINSURED GUIDELINES.

SIXTY-EIGHT PERCENT OF ALL UNINSURED PATIENTS NEEDING ROUTINE ANNUAL MAMMOGRAPHY SCREENING DID SO VIA THE ROSE MOBILE MAMMOGRAPHY PROGRAM. THIS DATA UNDERSCORES THE NEED FOR ACCESS TO CARE PARTICULARLY IN RURAL AREAS AND SUGGEST THAT THE MAJORITY OF OUR UNDERSERVED CONSTITUENTS HAD LIMITATIONS WITH TRANSPORTATION, ACCESSIBLE AND/OR AFFORDABLE SCREENING FACILITIES IN THEIR HOME COMMUNITIES. WITH THE MOBILE PROGRAM, STRATEGIC COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT EFFORTS GREATLY EXPAND ACCESS TO BREAST HEALTH CARE SERVICES WHERE WOMEN NEED THEM THE MOST. COMMUNITY PATIENT NAVIGATORS ARE UTILIZED TO REACH RURAL COUNTIES, AND ACT AS LIAISONS TO BRIDGE THE GAPS IN HEALTHCARE BY CONNECTING PATIENTS AND HEALTH SYSTEMS TO AREA RESOURCES, ENGAGING NEW PARTNERS AND APPLYING EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTION MODELS THAT INCREASED ACCESS TO CARE FOR THE UNDERSERVED.FOR UNINSURED WOMEN WHO ARE DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER, THE ROSE PATIENT NAVIGATION PROGRAM ENSURES ACCESS TO TIMELY AND AFFORDABLE BREAST CANCER TREATMENT.

FOR UNINSURED PATIENTS, THE ROSE'S PATIENT NAVIGATORS SECURE TREATMENT WITHIN 30 DAYS OF DIAGNOSIS THROUGH STATE-FUNDED HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS OR THE ROSE PHYSICIAN NETWORK. WITH THE ROSE PATIENT NAVIGATION PROGRAM, OUR PATIENTS GAIN DIRECT ACCESS TO AN EXTENSIVE NETWORK OF PHYSICIANS AND TREATMENT AT LEADING MEDICAL FACILITIES SUCH AS MD ANDERSON CANCER CENTER, HOUSTON METHODIST AND HARRIS HEALTH.PATIENT NAVIGATORS ALSO PROVIDE BREAST CANCER EDUCATION TO THE PATIENT AND HER FAMILY, SUPPORT DURING MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, TRANSLATION, SUPPORT GROUPS, WIGS AND PROSTHESES AND UP TO FIVE YEARS' OF SURVIVORSHIP SUPPORT POST-DIAGNOSIS TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE TO TREATMENT AND REGULAR SCREENINGS.
