"As she reflects on her years at the Oklahoma Proton Center, her gratitude is unmistakable. “I’ve seen patients improve, families grow closer, and fear turn into faith,” Sarah said. “It’s a privilege to be part of that journey.”

One of our amazing nurses, Sarah Goebel, recently did an interview with the Oklahoma Nursing Times, where she shares her story of over two decades in nursing, with the past 16 years at the Oklahoma Proton Center, starting before the center opened it's doors. “The science behind proton therapy
is fascinating, but what really matters are the people."

Thank you, Sarah, for your incredible heart in caring for our patients, and sharing the reasons that OKPC is such a special place, in part because of care team members like you! 💙
