Two of the four facilities designated Florida Cancer Centers of
Excellence by the State Surgeon General are in Jacksonville. Mayo Clinic
Florida and the UF Health Proton Therapy Institute were both presented
with the first-ever award earlier today in a visit by Florida Surgeon
General and Secretary of Health Dr. John Armstrong.
The
designation by the Florida Department of Health recognizes hospitals
and treatment centers that demonstrate excellence in patient-centered
coordinated care for people undergoing cancer treatment. The Florida
Legislature established the award in 2013 but this was the first time it
has been awarded.
The other two recipients are the H. Lee Moffitt
Cancer Center and Research Institute in Tampa and the University of
Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
