Founder’s Corner

“Of all the exciting developments I’ve seen as President of Hampton University, I believe the Hampton University Proton Therapy Institute (HUPTI) to be among the most notable. HUPTI is helping to save lives, ease human misery, and advance medical knowledge. One in three Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in his or her lifetime. In fighting this dreadful disease, HUPTI is impacting our community and the world. This technology enables HUPTI to offer our patients the most precise radiation therapy available, targeting and killing tumors with millimeter accuracy, while sparing healthy tissue and minimizing side effects. The cutting-edge research that is going on at HUPTI will greatly enhance and advance the treatment of that deadly disease of cancer.”
