Moncrief Cancer Institute

What Moncrief Cancer Institute does

Moncrief Cancer Institute is a Fort Worth, Texas nonprofit, community-based cancer early detection and support center operating as UT Southwestern Moncrief Cancer Institute and part of UT Southwestern's Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center, the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in North Texas. It serves uninsured and underinsured individuals, rural and underserved communities, employers seeking workplace screening, and cancer patients and survivors, including adolescent and young adult populations. Services include breast, cervical, colorectal, lung, and prostate screening; clinical support; genetic testing and counseling; psychology; dietitian and fitness services; fertility preservation; primary care for survivors; breast care; and support groups.

The operating model combines a Fort Worth 60,000-square-foot facility, an 18-wheeler Mobile Screening Clinic, partner hospitals and clinics, workplace events, and community outreach. Core screening technologies include 3D mammography/digital breast tomosynthesis, low-dose CT for lung screening, FIT colorectal kits, Pap tests, and telemedicine links from mobile units to cancer specialists; these are standard medical technologies deployed through a regional access network rather than a proprietary software platform. The institute reports mobile screening service across 35 North and Central Texas counties, partnerships with more than 50 hospitals and healthcare providers in more than 30 rural counties, nearly 10,000 free screenings annually, and approximately 1 million people reached through outreach each year.

Revenue mechanics are subsidy- and reimbursement-led rather than classic commercial subscription or provider contracting. Screening services are often free for uninsured or qualifying individuals and funded by CPRIT, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Susan G. Komen affiliates, donations, corporate partnerships, and philanthropy; insured patients, Medicare, and workplace screenings are billed through insurance, with no charge to employers to host the mobile clinic. This creates broad patient reach but greater dependence on grant renewals, philanthropic support, and healthcare reimbursement than on recurring commercial customer contracts.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves11 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center (UT Southwestern): Moncrief's parent NCI-designated cancer center. Directly comparable because it shares the same academic oncology mission, NCI designation, and operational integration; the key difference is scope (Simmons operates the full research/clinical enterprise across Dallas whereas Moncrief focuses on community-based prevention, screening, and survivorship in the Fort Worth region).
• Susan G. Komen: National breast cancer nonprofit that currently funds Moncrief as a grantee. Comparable because Komen affiliates operate similar mission-aligned breast screening and education programs nationwide and compete for the same donor dollars and corporate cause-marketing partnerships Moncrief relies on.
• American Cancer Society: Largest U.S. cancer-focused nonprofit. Comparable because it operates nationwide cancer screening initiatives (e.g., National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program partnerships), competes for philanthropic dollars, and shares overlapping community-outreach and education programming targeting the same uninsured/underinsured populations.

Direct peers

• Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center: One of the original NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers. Comparable because it similarly blends community outreach, screening, survivorship, and prevention services with academic-grade oncology research — a non-profit operating structure with a comparable mix of grant, insurance, and philanthropic funding.
• LIVESTRONG (part of Dell Medical School): Austin-based cancer survivorship nonprofit focused on young adult cancer patients and post-treatment quality of life. Highly comparable to Moncrief's AYA support services, fertility preservation partnerships, and exercise/nutrition programming, and competes for similar donor dollars in Texas.

Regional players

• Texas Oncology: The largest community-based oncology practice in Texas, operating across the same North/Central Texas geography as Moncrief. Comparable because it competes for cancer patients, screening referrals, and corporate partnership dollars in the same regional catchment, even though Texas Oncology focuses on medical oncology treatment rather than screening-only delivery.
• Baylor Scott & White Health (Sammons Cancer Center): Large Texas-based nonprofit health system that operates an NCI-affiliated cancer program in Dallas. Comparable because it serves the same North Texas market, offers mammography/lung screening, and competes for insured screening volumes and corporate wellness contracts in the same employer base Moncrief targets via workplace screenings.
• JPS Health Network: Tarrant County's public safety-net hospital system and a current referral partner (JPS Oncology and Infusion Center). Comparable because it serves many of the same uninsured patients in Fort Worth for cancer treatment post-screening, and competes for the same state/federal healthcare funding pools in North Texas.

Emerging players

• Color Health: Digital-first cancer screening company offering mail-back FIT colorectal tests and hereditary cancer genetic testing. Comparable to Moncrief's colorectal FIT screening and genetic testing/counseling offerings, and represents the at-home/employer-direct delivery model that could complement or compete with Moncrief's mobile outreach.
• Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas: Regional affiliate operating across North and Central Texas. Comparable because it provides breast and cervical cancer screening to uninsured/underinsured populations in overlapping service areas, and competes for the same CPRIT/Title X funding streams that help fund Moncrief's screening programs.
