TCI Educational Posters Appear in Burn Notice

Most of the TCI posters made their television debut on the July 1, 2010 episode of the USA Network original series Burn Notice entitled Neighborhood Watch.

How did the TCI posters get their big break? The Art Department Coordinator for the show was looking for medical/healthy living posters for the clinic scenes when she "discovered" the TCI educational posters on the website and saw their star potential. The posters received glowing reviews and may be used in a future episode, as well.

TCI responds to requests from physicians, other health care professionals and community groups for TCI brochures and educational posters for distribution to the general public through their offices or community health fairs. You can find links to PDFs of TCI posters and other educational materials and how to request copies at http://www.texascancer.info/poster.
