We were honored to support the American Cancer Society as a Gold Sponsor at this year’s Cowford Ball hosted this weekend in Jacksonville, Florida.

This annual event has raised more than $8.4 million since its founding—funds that power lifesaving cancer research, patient programs, and services like Hope Lodge, which provides free lodging for patients and caregivers traveling for treatment. As partners in this mission, we’re proud to stand alongside ACS to make a lasting impact in the lives of cancer patients and their families.

Our team also contributed through the charity auction “Preserving the Little Moments,” featuring photographs taken by children of cancer patients.

🎥 Behind the Beam with Rob Part II

Ever wondered how protons get the energy needed to treat cancer at the right depth? Rob takes us behind the scenes to explain how cryogen-cooled cables carry liquid helium from the basement to the treatment head.

These cryogens cool the magnet to just 4° Kelvin (that’s near absolute zero), creating superconductivity—what allows us to accelerate protons to the energy required to precisely reach tumors deep within the body.

On August 20th, we honor National Medical Dosimetrist Day—a time to recognize the vital role dosimetrists play in cancer treatment. These highly skilled professionals work behind the scenes to design precise, customized radiation plans that target cancer while protecting healthy tissue.

At Ackerman Cancer Center, we are proud of our exceptional dosimetry team whose expertise, dedication, and compassion directly shape patient outcomes and quality of life.

At our Amelia Island location, this felt installation by British artist Lucy Sparrow serves as a powerful reminder of our commitment to helping patients and communities live tobacco-free. Quitting smoking is one of the most impactful ways to reduce cancer risk and support long-term health.
