Boissoneault and Mayo?
Hi!
You said "I am surprised that no one has mentioned that the Mayo Clinic, yes the "WORLD" renowned Mayo Clinic, is now associated with the Robert Boissoneault Oncology Institute. Believe it or not, the RBOI was able to accomplish this without asking for donations. Check it out on their web site. I went to the open house on December 4 and was absolutely impressed with the facility and their fully paid for equipment. They are only seeing about half of the patients they could see so why donate to another facility just barely across the parking lot?"
What website are you mentioning? I found it on the Boissoneault Oncology Institue website. I think it is great that they are now availing themselves of an affiliation with the Mayo. It will only be great for cancer patients in the surrounding Central FL area. However, it is interesting that it is only now when Moffitt is becoming a reality that they have sought out the affiliation when their income stream may be under stress in a year. Personally I think the negative ads from BOI are awful and not a good reflection on BOI. They should stop them and concentrate on treating their patients.
The equipment that BOI has purchased has been paid for by patients one way or the other! In this case, Medicare has paid for most of it. In order to fast track Moffitt in TV, we are being asked for donations - they are not demanding it but asking. And the developer is donating the building. When patients go to Moffitt, they won't be asked if they donated and they won't be turned away if they didn't donate.
Best to all and health in the New Year,
Vi
