Celebrating Veterans Day at The Rose

As some of our patients know, The Rose is the exclusive provider of breast health services to the VA for our area in Southeast Texas. We are proud to have served our veterans exclusively since 1999 and our mobile fleet visits VA locations in Katy, Tomball, Houston, Lufkin, Beaumont and Texas City.

Today, as we honor our veterans, we'd like to celebrate the brave men and women who have gone on to become our patients after their return home. In the last two years, we have cared for 3,252 veteran patients and of those:

• 2,986 are female
• 266 are male
• 28 have been diagnosed with breast cancer
• 1 male veteran was diagnosed
• The youngest veteran diagnosed was 40 years old

We would also like to say a special thank you to our two veterans on staff at The Rose, Cathie Sublett and Tisha Diaz, as well as one of our radiologists, Dr. Parsons. Thank you for your service to our country and to our community at The Rose.

What our veterans said about The Rose: 

• "This was an unexpected delight to find The Rose in partnership with the VA."
• "Great girls doing this. Thanks for coming to the Texas City VA."
• "Thank you, VA, for looking out for women veterans. This was very convenient."
• "The customer service was excellent on both sides – the VA as well as The Rose. One of the best techs ever. She is a star to The Rose."
