Early detection can make all the difference. 💗

A mammogram can help find breast cancer early — often before symptoms appear — when it’s most treatable. For many women, this quick screening is one of the most powerful steps you can take for your health.

If you’re 40 or older, or have a family history of breast cancer, talk with your provider about when to begin screening. Prioritizing your health today can protect your tomorrow.

At the Lee Health Cancer Institute, in partnership with Southwest Florida Proton and Advocate Radiation Oncology, the proton therapy machine is transforming how we treat cancer. 💙

Unlike traditional radiation, proton therapy uses a highly controlled beam that can be directed to stop at the tumor site. This precision allows physicians to deliver powerful treatment directly to cancer cells while helping protect nearby healthy tissue.

For patients, that can mean fewer side effects, less impact on surrounding organs, and the ability to maintain a better quality of life during and after treatment. ✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Cooking for Chemo this National Nutrition Month. 💙

Together with the Cancer Support Community at the Lee Health Cancer Institute, participants explored ways to navigate taste changes during cancer treatment through hands-on learning, flavor exploration, and practical nutrition tips.

Events like this help empower patients and families with tools to make eating more enjoyable and support overall well-being during treatment.

We’re grateful to Chef Ryan Callahan for sharing his expertise and to everyone who spent time learning, connecting, and supporting one another. ✨

Waiting can be one of the hardest parts of a cancer journey. 💙

The quiet moments. The unknowns. The thoughts that fill the space before an appointment even begins.

At the Lee Health Cancer Institute, we’re mindful of what patients feel before care even begins. From calming spaces to compassionate teams, everything is designed to help ease fear and bring comfort, even while you wait.
