SYMPTOMS WHISPER: IT’S TIME WE LISTEN

HOW YOU CAN EMPOWER THE WOMEN IN YOUR LIFE TO TAKE CHARGE OF THEIR HEALTH

Did you know that 1 in 2 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer die from the disease? The good news is advances in science and technology have given us promising resources that increase our ability to detect it early. Through education and public health awareness, we are going to help women “find and fix” this deadly disease once and for all. Our hope is to educate and empower Dallas women – the landscape is changing, and you can be in the driver’s seat as an advocate for yourself and the women that you love and serve.
