We are committed to helping cancer patients and their families find the most thorough and current information available.

If you or someone you know needs help obtaining a breast cancer screening and/or mammogram, we will direct you to Elia Saenz at Cancer Care Services. Elia is a Breast Cancer Navigator and will take your situation into account and recommend a screening and treatment plan for you, should treatment become necessary. Elia's phone number is 817-921-0653. You may also call the Komen Tarrant County office at any time for assistance. Our phone number is 817-735-8580.
