This #NationalCancerSurvivorsMonth, we want to take a moment to honor the strength of all who have faced cancer. We know that cancer is one of the most difficult journeys someone can face. The courage, resilience, and spirit we see in our patients in the face of that challenge truly inspires us every day. No matter the part we played in your journey, we're proud to celebrate you today, and every day. ❤️

It's been another exciting month for UCBC! We enjoyed celebrating our amazing nurses for National Nurses Month and spotlighting our incredible clinical trials team during National Cancer Research Month! Additionally, UCBC traveled across state lines! This month, Dr. Charles Bodine, UCBC, and Dr. Ross Michels, Prisma Cancer Center, visited Seneca, South Carolina. Dr. Michels and colleagues refer patients to our Theranostics program! Thank you all for a wonderful May!

Today, we're celebrating the remarkable dedication and tireless efforts of our clinical trials team as #CancerResearchMonth comes to a close. Because of this incredible group, we're continuing to make amazing strides in cancer care, right here in Georgia. Thank you for all you do! 💙
