The Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation’s gift will allow the Moffitt Global Innovation Center in Speros, Fla., to install a system from particle accelerator company IBA.

“Moffitt is a leader in personalized and adaptive radiation therapy. This new technology allows us to extend our clinical and research expertise into proton therapy, as we seek to continually provide the best possible patient outcomes,” Moffitt President and CEO Patrick Hwu, MD, said in a Feb. 15 news release.

The targeted technology, which could treat patients at the center as soon as 2026, focuses on cancerous lesions close to other vital bodily structures and organs.

The first phase of construction for the Global Innovation Center is scheduled for mid- to late-2023.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
