April may be coming to a close, but awareness doesn’t stop here. 💜

Esophageal cancer remains one of the more challenging cancers to detect early—making education, prevention, and access to care more important than ever.

Let these numbers be more than statistics. Let them be a reminder to stay informed, listen to your body, and support those affected. 🔔

Still feeling inspired after an incredible time last week in Nashville at the 2026 National Proton Conference with The National Association for Proton Therapy! ⭐️

Hampton Proton’s Director of Marketing, Tiffany Velez Rodgers, hosted a panel on Elevating Your Proton Therapy Message: Brand Positioning, Public Relations, and Community Engagement alongside David Rauback (), Lyndsay Sullivan ( Proton), Sherri Kubesh (Southwest Florida Proton), and AJ Williams (), and also led the 2026 Proton Therapy Excellence Awards Breakfast.

The week was filled with powerful moments—including closing remarks from Olympic gold medalist and cancer survivor Scott Hamilton, who was treated with proton therapy, and a moving tribute as Grammy-winning artist Amy Grant accepted an award on behalf of her late father, Dr. Burton Grant, a true pioneer of radiation oncology in Tennessee whose legacy continues to shape cancer care today.

We’re also thrilled to share that Tiffany has been appointed to the NAPT Board of Directors—representing the nation’s first and only HBCU-affiliated proton therapy center. Official announcement coming soon.🔔

Grateful for the opportunity to connect and continue pushing the future of cancer care forward 💙
