Douglas Flora: I always say that fighting cancer care is a team sport

Douglas Flora, Executive Medical Director of the Young Family Cancer Center at St. Elizabeth Healthcare, shared a post on LinkedIn by Stewart Gandolf, CEO of Healthcare Success, adding:

“If you have followed me on here for any time, you know that I always say that fighting cancer care is a team sport. Today, I want to recognize our incredible St. Elizabeth Healthcare Marketing and PR teams – the critical storytellers behind our mission.

These dedicated professionals transform complex medical messages into powerful, accessible communication. They’re not just creating content; they’re raising awareness about early detection, prevention, and the importance of cancer screenings, and they are saving lives in doing so, every day.

After this conversation with Stewart Gandolf, I’m reminded how essential effective messaging is to spreading this life-saving information. These teams’ tireless work ensures our critical health messages reach the people who need them most.

To our Marketing and PR team: thank you for being an indispensable part of our mission – I appreciate all that you do!”

Quoting Stewart Gandolf’s post:

“My favorite quote from Dr. Flora on our latest podcast about enlisting doctors to cooperate with marketing departments:

‘When you wake up in the morning, you want to make a difference – a dent in humanity, like Steve Jobs said. Here, doctors and our marketing team work hand in hand as cancer fighters, each using their unique skills to help patients.

That’s the power of messaging: uniting talents to make a meaningful impact. It’s truly beautiful when it all comes together.’
