Executive Director’s Message – August 2024

In August, the UF Health Proton Therapy Institute proudly marks 18 years of dedicated patient care. Since our inception, we have remained steadfast in our mission to advance cancer treatment through a patient-centered approach. We continue our commitment to furthering our expertise, maintaining excellence and upholding the highest standards of quality. These efforts will undoubtedly pave the way for new discoveries and advancements in cancer care, ultimately benefiting our patients and others around the world. 

Approaching September, we acknowledge the significance of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, Leukemia and Lymphoma Cancer Awareness Month and Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month. We invite you to read inspiring stories shared by patients in this newsletter who have bravely confronted these cancers and others. By amplifying their narratives, we aim to raise awareness and enhance cancer care for all patients, empowering them in their journey towards survivorship.

Thank you for your continued support as we strive to make a meaningful impact in the fight against cancer.
