Zack

Zack Family, Patient Testimonial

Proton therapy gave Zack his best shot at treating a spinal tumor that had come back. Zack was one of the first patients at the Emory Proton Therapy Center when it opened in 2018. The treatments, every weekday for six weeks, took less than one hour of his day and gave Zack the greatest odds of a long life with his wife and children.
