As part of our
ongoing effort to help educate the Dallas-Fort Worth community on today’s
important medical and health topics, the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer
Center has developed a Speakers Bureau program available to local organizations.
UT Southwestern
Medical Center’s world-renowned physicians, researchers, and health care
professionals can share useful advice and medical breakthroughs with audiences
at luncheons, dinners, assemblies, meetings, or any other gathering where a
cancer expert is needed.
Cancer is a topic
that affects everyone – our Speakers Bureau speakers will provide the
latest details on cancer prevention, early detection, and new treatment options
to keep our community organizations informed.
