How You Can Help
Project VALET
Project VALET offers free mammograms to women age 40 and older living in the Houston area, who don’t have health insurance or a Harris County Hospital District “Gold Card.” This project is a joint effort of MD Anderson Cancer Center, The Rose, and the Houston Department of Health and Human Services (HDHHS).
Project VALET provides mammograms by arranging for MD Anderson’s Mobile Mammography van to regularly visit several of the city’s health and multi-service centers.
To participate in this program, call the HDHHS at 832-393-5428.
