About Us

Komen for the Cure® North Texas Affiliate, Pioneer Breast Health and Community Outreach Program of Denton County was created by Dr. Jody Oomen - Early and Ms. Priyanka Lalwani of Texas Woman's University to help educate women in Denton County about breast health, spread the important message of early detection, and help increase women's access to screening services.
