Our Mission

Simmons’ Office of Community Outreach, Engagement, and Equity strives to help everyone in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex live cancer-free.

To accomplish our mission, we reach out to the community with:

Cancer education opportunities, including a free Speakers Bureau, now offered virtually, and online tips for managing your health
Mobile cancer screenings and free screening events, offered with enhanced safety procedures
Treatment and survivorship support for those who’ve been diagnosed with cancer
Nicotine cessation clinics that can help you stop smoking or vaping
A Cancer Answer Line to connect you with cancer resources, including clinical trials and programs for those struggling to afford care

In turn, we host community conversations so that you can tell us about your cancer concerns and shape cancer care for those you love.

For questions about our programs or to join us in cancer prevention, please contact our team at 833-722-6237 or OfficeofCOEE@utsouthwestern.edu.
