A heart ❤ felt thank you to all the medical professionals at UF Health Proton Therapy Institute for the outstanding treatment, friendliness and sensitivity during my radiation treatment. And a special thanks to Dr. Bill Mendenhall for his dedication and genuine care. I will be eternally grateful. ???? khob khun khrab

I was a prostate cancer patient for proton therapy during the summer of 2008, about 2 years after the UF Proton Therapy Institute began operations. Apart from the total success of my therapy, I made great life-long friends with fellow patients and received the most sensitive care possible from nurses, doctors and therapy technicians. Congratulations on 15 years of success!

My daughter Grace G. was a patient there in 2009 for recurrent medullablastoma when she was 5 yrs old. She is now 17. She still talks about her time there, the staff and the "spaceship" wonderful team that got us through a hard time away from home and alone. Happy Anniversary to you all.
