Whom was your cancer center named after?
Video: Resolve Fuels H. Lee Moffitt’s Noble Quest
By Moffitt Cancer Center | April 14, 2021
“I decided that one of the things I wanted to accomplish in the Legislature was to see if we could create a cancer center in Florida that would be as good as any cancer center in the United States so that Floridians would not have to go outside the state. I felt that it would be a noble quest to create what I hoped would ultimately become an NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center in Florida.”
– H. Lee Moffitt
