The Ringing of the Bell
A bright silver bell hangs in the lobby of Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute. At the end of active treatment, you’re invited to ring the bell. This tradition was started by Rear Admiral Irve Le Moyne of the U.S. Navy, who was undergoing radiation for head and neck cancer. He was following a Navy tradition of ringing a bell to signify “when the job was done.” Today, nearly all cancer facilities have a similar bell that patients ring to mark the end of treatment.
Brain Fitness Lab
The Brain Fitness Lab at Baptist Health Miami Cancer Institute focuses on your cognitive health and well-being. Our goal is to prevent cognitive problems like memory loss and concentration difficulties that may occur as a result of cancer and its therapy, and to restore cognitive abilities if these problems develop. We offer assessment, diagnosis and treatment to help you take charge of your cancer and function better.
