As the year comes to a close, we want to pause and say thank you.

Earlier this year, 5,000 patients trusted us with their care. That trust carries weight. It’s a responsibility we take seriously every day.

This moment is about gratitude. To our patients. To their families. To the clinicians and staff who make this work possible.

Not every award means something. But this one does.

Dr. Pretesh Patel and Dr. Sagar Patel were named 2025 Top Docs by Atlanta magazine. Chosen by their peers, people who know what great care really looks like behind the scenes.

It’s a quiet kind of excellence. No headline needed. Just decades of trust earned patient by patient, colleague by colleague.

Tomorrow’s treatments. Today’s comfort.

Today is National Therapy Animal Day, we’re celebrating the calm, connection, and healing presence these animals bring to patients and care teams alike.

At Emory Proton Therapy Center, we know that healing goes beyond the clinical. That’s why we champion compassionate care in every form—including visits from therapy animals.

Great care starts with great experiences.

It’s Patient Experience Week—a time to recognize the people who shape care beyond the clinical.

Every interaction matters. A kind word. A listening ear. A well-timed update. It’s not just what we do—it’s how we make people feel that defines the experience.

At its core, patient experience is about humanity in healthcare.

Volunteers don’t ask for recognition. They show up for the people who need them most—with no agenda other than to help.

They bring smiles, directions, comfort, conversation, and hope.

This week, we’re shining a light on their impact. Whether you’ve been a patient, family member, or staff—chances are, a volunteer made your day just a little brighter.

Drop a comment and tag someone who's made a difference. Let’s give them the spotlight they deserve.
