✨ This Week 15 Years Ago: Hampton Made History
On October 27, 2010, Hampton Proton opened its doors as the first proton therapy center in Virginia, the largest in the world at the time, and remains today the only proton therapy facility owned and operated by an HBCU.
That day marked more than a grand opening — it marked the beginning of a legacy built on science, compassion and community.
Since that groundbreaking moment, we’ve spent fifteen years advancing research, expanding access, and changing lives through cutting-edge proton therapy and compassionate care.
As we honor where we began, we’re looking ahead to the next fifteen years of innovation, advocacy, and hope. Happy birthday to us! 💙🔔
