Moffitt Cancer Center and AdventHealth are partnering to provide cancer treatment and better access to cancer prevention, education, cancer screenings and early phase clinical trials for patients in Florida.

The partnership will develop a cancer research agenda shared across both organizations, which will include expanding research activities and recruitment of innovative cancer investigators to the AdventHealth Orlando and Celebration campuses.

The two organizations plan to establish a clinical research facility and chemotherapy/immunotherapy infusion program at AdventHealth Celebration, focused on solid tumor malignancies and malignant hematology, which will allow Central Florida patients to receive critical treatments closer to home.

At AdventHealth Celebration, researchers from both organizations will conduct early phase clinical studies—the first and only phase I site in Central Florida.

This partnership extends to AdventHealth’s West Florida division as well, where a new Moffitt outpatient satellite cancer center is under construction at AdventHealth Wesley Chapel.
