Since the opening of the Red Line extension, from the University of Houston Downtown to Northline Commons, its ridership has exceeded expectations and continues to grow. March light rail ridership was 12.5 percent higher than March 2014, while overall bus ridership dropped by 3 percent. Even accounting for bus lines the train replaced, rail is carrying more riders, and its expansion north has meant more people can make direct trips downtown and to the Texas Medical Center.

The Green Line currently runs from the east side of the downtown Theater District to the BBVA Compass Stadium with plans to open additional stops extending the line further to the east in 2016. The Purple Line runs from downtown to Texas Southern University and the University of Houston, which will give both universities’ growing student populations access to downtown businesses and eateries. Together, the two new lines add connections from the theater and nightlife districts downtown to Discovery Green, the George R. Brown Convention Center, Toyota Center, Minute Maid Park, Dynamo Stadium, the East End, University of Houston, Texas Southern University, MacGregor Park and Palm Center. With the new lines providing more access and additional stops, METRO’s light rail ridership is expected to continue to grow.

The 2nd fascinating Breast Cancer Opportunity to have a Cure by the end of The President 2nd Term is The Big News out of Austin, Texas CPRIT Surpasses the 2 Million Milestone in Life-Saving Cancer Prevention Services Provided to Texans

Nearly 1,500 cancers have been detected through screenings and diagnostics The Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) today announced that it reached a new milestone: more than 2 million cancer prevention services have been provided to Texans in all 254 counties of the state. Prevention measures made possible by CPRIT grants include tobacco cessation programs, vaccinations, screenings for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancers, genetic testing and counseling, and survivor care. “This is a momentous occasion in CPRIT’s history and it demonstrates how Texas leads the nation in the fight against cancer,” said Wayne Roberts, the agency’s chief executive officer. “Our innovative and proven cancer prevention strategies are saving or extending the lives of thousands of Texans who ordinarily might not have access to screenings and diagnostics. The greatest opportunity to reduce the burden of cancer is by reducing its incidence – preventing it altogether.”

Since 2009, CPRIT has delivered 2,211,119 prevention services to Texans. Those include 1,105,907 education and training services and more than 1.1 million clinical services, which have resulted in: 16,562 prevention vaccinations; 189,842 Texans receiving tobacco cessation services; 17,036 Texans receiving genetic testing and counseling, and 10,743 Texans receiving survivor care

“I get asked, ‘When are we going to find a cure for cancer?’” said Dr. Becky Garcia, CPRIT’s chief prevention and communications officer. “My response is that we have a cure for cancer. It’s prevention. For example, if people stopped smoking, an estimated 80 percent of lung cancer deaths could be prevented along with 30 percent of other tobacco related cancers.” Visiting Houston Make Sure You Visit Rothko Chapel To date, CPRIT has funded 146 cancer prevention grants totaling $142,189,920. Of the 1,105,212 clinical preventive services delivered, there have been 528,645 screenings and diagnostics for breast, cervical, colorectal, and liver cancers. Of these:

42,991 abnormal results were identified; 3,340 cancer precursors were detected, and 1,477 cancers were found. One woman in her early thirties discovered she had breast cancer after completing a CPRIT-funded screening in East Texas. “My world fell apart, but if I had not discovered the program, my tumor would have just kept growing,” she wrote. Following a mammogram, biopsy, and five surgeries, she remains cancer free. (Watch patients recount their personal battles against cancer at http://www.cprit.state.tx.us/prevention/patient-stories/.) In the Dallas area alone, the CPRIT-supported Bridge Breast Network has detected 226 cancers, including seventy-eight percent in the early stage. “That’s 176 women who have a better chance at survival now,” Dr. Garcia said. “It makes a huge difference detecting breast cancer early when treatment is most effective.” Up to ten percent of the total amount of money CPRIT awards each year is specifically devoted to delivering cancer prevention programs and services in Texas. Currently, CPRIT supports 55 prevention projects throughout the state, including: Grantee: Dr. Abbey Berenson, The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston Project: HPV Vaccinations Dr. Berenson’s project targets low income pregnant women to take advantage of opportunities for prevention when these women access the health care system. The program serves populations that typically have very low HPV vaccination rates by implementing standing orders for postpartum HPV vaccination(s) during regular doctors’ visits associated with pre and postpartum care. Impact: This program increased the HPV vaccination rates from 9 percent to 83 percent its very first year of operation.

Grantee: Dorothy Gibbons, The Rose (Houston) Project: Breast Cancer Screenings The Rose’s Empower Her to Care project increases mammography screenings among underserved minorities in 24 Texas counties through an expanded Mobile Mammography Outreach program. The program provides free, easily accessible breast cancer screenings in the neighborhoods where the women work and live, increasing public awareness of the importance of identifying breast cancer in its earliest stages. Impact: To date, the project has served 5,044 women; 1,800 of these women had never before been screened.

Grantee: Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) at El Paso Project: Colorectal Screenings Collaborating with more than 20 organizations, TTUHSC at El Paso has developed Project ACCION, a bilingual program that provides free education and screening services for a high-risk, underserved population. Impact: Through the program, thousands of Texans have received education and screenings. To date, 36 people have had abnormal growths detected; seven of the people were found to have cancer and steered into treatment.

Grantee: The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (Dallas) Project: Identifying Patients with Hereditary Breast-Ovarian Cancer and Lynch Syndrome Through the only telemedicine program of its kind in Texas, genetic counseling is provided to populations who have never received services, with the goal of identifying patients with Hereditary Breast-Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) and Lynch syndrome--two of the most commonly inherited cancer predisposition syndromes. Impact: In the first 20 months, more than 61,000 underserved women were screened for HBOC risk and more than 500 underserved patients with colon and uterine cancer were tested for Lynch syndrome. Additional funding from CPRIT will expand the reach of this project from six to 22 counties in North Texas.

Grantee: Dr. Carol Rice, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service (College Station) Project: Breast and Cervical Cancer Screenings in Rural, Frontier and Border Counties The program targets underserved women in 50 counties and helps them make appointments for breast and cervical cancer screenings. Impact: Screenings of 3,157 women have detected 198 abnormalities, including 42 cancer precursors. Indicating the high demand for services, the project’s outreach has impacted 7,590 women in nearly three years—more than twice the original goal. For More Information Contact Congress.gov
