One person’s determination can make a lasting difference. H. Lee Moffitt believed Floridians deserved world-class cancer care close to home. Forty years later, we’re proud to carry that vision forward. Today, we’re also celebrating his birthday! Happy birthday, Lee, and thank you for giving so many families hope. 💙 @HLeeMoffitt1

For my latest listening tour, I enjoyed connecting with our Adolescent & Young Adult Program team at @MoffittNews. This incredible team helps patients ages 15–39 navigate the unique challenges of facing #cancer at a young age, from emotional support to fertility concerns and connecting with others going through similar experiences. Grateful for all they do for our patients and for another great opportunity to listen and learn!

Join us in congratulating Moffitt President and CEO Patrick Hwu, MD (@patrickhwumd), on his induction into the Florida Inventors Hall of Fame! His pioneering research helped lay the groundwork for CAR T-cell therapy, which reprograms a patient’s immune cells to recognize and attack cancer. Today, he continues to advance discoveries that could bring new treatment options to more patients. We’re proud to celebrate his decades of innovation and dedication to changing the future of cancer care!

That’s a wrap on #SITC26! A great few days in Phoenix filled with exciting science, meaningful conversations and time with colleagues from around the world. Always good to reconnect with the #immunotherapy community and see the progress being made for patients. Thank you, @sitcancer, for another great meeting. #MoffittSITC26

Great catching up with Greg Sawyer, PhD, our chief of bioengineering at @MoffittNews, here at #SITC26! 🔬 We talked about how engineering and immunology come together in his research on T-cell movement and what this could mean for developing more effective cancer immunotherapies. @sitcancer #MoffittSITC26 @ProfGregSawyer

Fighting cancer is more than a 9-to-5 job, but we love a little Dolly! 🎶 The CheckPoints had everyone singing along to the Dolly Parton classic "9 to 5" at the annual #SITC26 concert reception. What a fun way to unwind after a busy day of science and collaboration! #MoffittSITC26 @PatrickHwuMD @sitcancer

Great conversation with @MoffittNews' Peter Forsyth, MD, (@PeterForsyth27)here at #SITC26. We discussed his research exploring CAR T-cell therapy for #melanoma that has spread to the lining of the brain and spinal cord, and what this approach could mean for patients facing this difficult-to-treat disease. @sitcancer #MoffittSITC26
