University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute

Advances in medical imaging have made Proton Therapy more successful and more available than ever before, with fewer side effects than other cancer treatments.

Since treatment is non-invasive and conducted on an outpatient basis, patients undergoing Proton/Conventional Therapy are able to continue their daily activities without interruption.

Other Places to Stay.

Patients occasionally find seasonal condos at WORLD GOLF VILLAGE down by St. Augustine. The commute is 40 to 45 minutes. But, to play at the King & Bear or Sawgrass, some find the drive worthwhile.

RV PARKS.
There are three RV/camping parks in the Jacksonville area. All three are highly rated in general, and by our patients in particular. Pecan Park and Flamingo Lake are the closest to the Florida Proton and are located about 10-15 miles away. Hanna Park is another possibility located near the beach. In order to stay more than two weeks at Hanna Park, you will need a letter from the doctor explaining the reason for an extended stay and will also need to fill out an extended stay form available from the Park that needs to be approved by the Hanna Park board. This might be something you want to get worked out the first two weeks of your stay so you have no problems after the two weeks is up.
