Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women after skin cancer. Each October, we recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s a time to celebrate breast cancer survivors and honor the heroes who support and care for them throughout their journey. Although we observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, our efforts extend well beyond just one month.

At UF Health Jacksonville, our team offers a multidisciplinary approach for every patient under our care, including access to the latest technology such as 3D digital breast
tomosynthesis. These advancements, coupled with the high-quality care delivered at our facilities, embodies our comprehensive clinical services.

With that said, please join me in congratulating the UF Health Breast Center – Jacksonville and its dedicated staff on its recent accreditation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers. This accreditation not only recognizes the high standards of care at UF Health Jacksonville but also provides assurance to patients and their families that they are receiving the best possible treatment. We are indeed an organization that delivers.

As an academic medical center, we have the privilege of advancing the frontiers of medicine through patient-centered research, leading to tangible improvements in the
health and well-being of our community.

To do that well, I find it essential to be connected to you in your work. That’s what our listening sessions have done — allowed me the opportunity to hear from
you, so together we can take UF Health Jacksonville to greater heights. Listening sessions kicked off in September and will conclude at the end of October. At that
time, the UF Health Jacksonville leadership team will have heard from more than 100 departments. The listening sessions have been a great source of inspiration for
me and I look forward to following up with our leaders and teams to demonstrate our commitment to your well-being and belonging here at UF Health.

Thank you for representing UF Health Jacksonville with excellence as you deliver the most compassionate and outstanding care possible to this community.

Sincerely,

Patrick L. Green, FACHE
CEO, UF Health Jacksonville
