Members Are Invited To Join A Limited Space Tour Of The Proton Center for Proton Therapy In Knoxville On April 29, 2023

Get a behind the scenes tour of the proton center including a complete walk through of a patient experience, up close viewing of the massive equipment that makes proton therapy work.  We review the history of proton therapy that dates back to 1903, how proton therapy works, and we will also see the next generation of equipment being installed at the proton center from the ProNova group.

Restrictions:  We do have some restrictions on one section of the proton center tours that require those individuals with pace makers and or someone that may be pregnant to be restricted from entering the cyclotron vault.  They can view pictures of the cyclotron, but they may not enter the actual vault where the equipment is active.
