In honor of National Nutrition Month, we’re proud to highlight a special space at our center — Emma’s Sensory Garden. 🌿

Named after former Hampton Proton patient Emma Lednick, the garden was created as a place for patients, families, and staff to pause, connect with nature, and reflect on the role wellness plays in healing.

Good nutrition is an important part of overall health.

According to the CDC and the American Cancer Society, healthy lifestyle choices — including balanced diets rich in fruits and vegetables — can help reduce the risk of several cancers.

What are some health habits you’re working on this month?

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about one of the most preventable cancers when detected early.

In an interview aired last week, Eugene Daniel of WVEC Channel 13 spoke with our very own Dr. Allan Thornton to discuss the signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer along with the importance of getting screened.

Early detection saves lives. Screening can help find colorectal cancer before symptoms even appear.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month — a time to raise awareness about prevention and early detection, and to recognize the patients and families impacted by this disease.

At Hampton Proton, we are committed to delivering precise, compassionate care through advanced treatment options like proton therapy, designed to target tumors while helping to protect surrounding healthy tissue.

This month, we stand with survivors, caregivers, and everyone affected by colorectal cancer — and we remain dedicated to providing hope through innovation and patient-centered care. 💙.

We’re excited to announce our new partnership with Milk & Honey in support of our PATH Program.💙

PATH is our new patient registry and support program, designed to help ease the practical and financial burdens that can come with a cancer diagnosis — from non-clinical everyday needs to unexpected challenges along the treatment journey. Through community generosity, PATH connects patients to meaningful resources when they need them most.

With Milk & Honey joining us as a partner, we’re continuing to expand that circle of support for the patients and families we serve.
