20 Years of Proton Therapy

Today we celebrate two decades of patient care and innovation at the University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute. Since 2006, we have treated over 13,000 patients, giving them a chance to live life to the fullest. We are grateful for the teams that have made this possible - physicians, physicists, radiation therapists, nurses, and all of the people working hard behind the scenes.

Our mission to improve cancer treatment for patients, educate the next generation of radiation oncologists and conduct high-quality research has guided us and allowed us to experience these patients ringing Aud's Chime after proton therapy treatment. Join us as we celebrate 20 years today - August 14th!
