Educate Your Community

We know that public education is a proven weapon in the fight against cancer, so we actively seek your help in raising cancer awareness across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.

Here are some things you can do now to keep your community informed:

Speakers Bureau

Invite a Simmons expert to share the latest in cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment at your next school assembly, community “Lunch & Learn,” or company health fair.

Our Speakers Bureau physicians, researchers, and supportive care teams can join you at any virtual gathering to share important information on topics such as:

• Cancer 101
• New discoveries in diagnosing and treating various cancers
• Coping with COVID in healthy ways
• Smoking, vaping, and COVID-19 risks
• Cancer screenings that men and women should have
• How to stop smoking to prevent or beat cancer
• Cancer-fighting foods and healthy eating tips
• Exercise as medicine for cancer prevention and survivorship
• Genetic testing for inherited family cancers
• Vaccinations that can prevent cancer
• Clinical trials: What are they? Why should I join?

Simmons’ Speakers Bureau service is free, and presentations can be tailored to your group’s interests.

Please submit your speaker request here. For questions, call 833-722-6237.
