Client headlines: Advocate Radiation Oncology, Housing Authority and more

Each month, we spotlight some of the outstanding media coverage of our clients’ news and events. You’ll see them featured frequently in newspapers and magazines, on television and radio, and on blogs and social media.

In April, Advocate Radiation Oncology held physician open houses to showcase its cancer treatment centers in Cape Coral and Tamarac while also announcing it would establish the first proton therapy center on Florida’s west coast. Proton therapy is an advanced form of radiation that precisely targets tumors and cancer cells.
