EMPOWER HER® is The Rose Sponsorship Program for Low-Income Uninsured Women This past year, The Rose delivered more than 73,993 services including: 25,335 screening and diagnostic procedures for those able to pay; 10,177 screening and diagnostic procedures at no charge to low income, uninsured women through The Rose Empower Her® Sponsorship Program. This program provides breast cancer detection services to those who cannot afford the costs of these potentially life saving procedures. The Rose was established to reduce deaths from breast cancer by eliminating barriers and providing access to essential resources. Through the years as the pool of Houston's "working poor" widened, the choices for them to access breast health care has continually narrowed. The Rose has expanded its services to meet the needs of the community. Today, The Rose is transformed from "imaging only" to being a complete breast cancer diagnostic and navigational program with support systems to overcome the hurdles that exist in preventing a woman from getting into treatment. An important part of the Empower Her® program is the Patient Navigator. The Patient Navigator provides one-on-one advocacy and mentoring support for the patient to overcome barriers such as language, transportation, cultural myths, and childcare. The Patient Navigator ushers breast cancer patients through the entire process of diagnosis, to physician referral, to treatment. Patient navigation services include assistance with paperwork, translation, education, prosthesis, and access to any resource individuals may need to expedite healing and recovery. When additional procedures or treatment not provided by The Rose are required, assistance is provided to gain access into other healthcare systems through the Physician Network. The Physician Network is a network of volunteer physicians who have agreed to donate services to one The Rose patient a year.
