Mid Florida Cancer Centers hosted a night of appreciation for medical personnel in their community. Knowing that their patient’s care is guided by caring people in other offices as well as their own, MFCC invited them over for some fun! All the primary care offices, and some specialists as well, received personalized invitations for key personnel involved in patient care to come to the event. With over 100 people in attendance, the event was a hit!
Guests were welcomed with the smiling faces of MFCC staff at the door. They received a menu, a tour guide and 2 tickets for gifts and prizes. Each guest was introduced to and welcome by all 8 physicians in the group before they toured the facility. During the tour, they were surprised by the size and quality of the MFCC comprehensive center. Guests reported, “I didn’t know you had all this!”
The Varian RapidArc Radiation machine is an impressive sight and is currently the latest technology available in radiation. RapicArc delivers integrated and personalized treatment with increased speed and precision that substantially shortens treatment times and minimizes damage to healthy tissue. MFCC feels it is important the community know where to find the best care for cancer patients in the area.
Guests were led through the facility stopping periodically at a different food or drink station and also being introduced to other MFCC staff. They saw the CT and PET Scan, the Chemotherapy room, lab and other treatment rooms. Mid Florida also had live music playing by a keyboardist and saxophone player through the center.
Towards the end of the night, there was a big drawing for great prizes such as a spa treatment, a google NEXUS electronic tablet and an iPad. Before the guests left, each one received a thank gift. The guest were grateful and happy as were the staff and doctors of Mid Florida Cancer Centers.
It is important to appreciate the people that help us in our lives, whether at home or at work. We all get too busy sometimes to remember, but a little appreciation can go a long way towards helping to create positive and healthy change in a community.
