If you think Nash is cute now, you should see him as a puppy. 🐶

Nash, a chocolate lab, has been volunteering at Moffitt with his owner, Mackenzie, for nearly three years. Mackenzie first discovered the pet therapy program while interning on campus and made it a goal to train her future dog to become a therapy dog.

Today, Nash loves visiting with patients and team members. But while he’s calm and gentle on the job, he still has one puppy habit.

The zoomies. At least once a day.

Help us wish Nash, and all of our Pet Therapy Dogs, a Happy National Puppy Day by leaving a 🦴 in the comments.

When patients arrive in the intensive care unit, they are often facing some of the most serious moments of their cancer journey.

For Jennifer Cox, MD, that is exactly where she chooses to be.

The critical care physician who has spent more than two decades caring for patients at Moffitt was named Moffitt's Physician of the Year.

Her compassion for patients is shaped by personal experience. Cancer has touched her own family, and she has even faced cancer diagnoses herself, both fortunately caught at early stages.

She said the honor was a complete surprise and especially meaningful because it came from her peers, validating that her work for patients and their families truly matters.
