Our conference has come and gone. It was great to connect with so many in sunny St. Pete after two years apart!
This year’s conference covered the spectrum of proton therapy from the latest clinical research to design and construction. We are excited to dive into health policy and the role proton therapy plays in cancer initiatives like value-based care and Cancer Moonshot.
Thank you for joining us in Florida!
