The holiday season is a time for giving and receiving. We are so grateful for the generous outpouring of support from staff, community organizations and individuals.
A finger tap coaxes a gentle sound from the dimpled surface of a flying saucer-shaped instrument made of hand-hammered sheet metal. The vibration from the musical instrument, called the handpan, moves and resonates through The Players Lobby at the UF Health Proton Therapy Institute.
In 2017, a research team led by Nancy Mendenhall, M.D., medical director of the UF Health Proton Therapy Institute, was awarded a five-year, $11.9 million grant from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to directly compare the potential benefits and harms of proton therapy to standard radiation therapy when treating prostate cancer.
