This radiation oncologist that runs Boisseneault RADIATION facility has bought full page ads over and over in the Daily Sun to market his radiation treatment and facility as being superior to what Moffitt Comprehensive Cancer Center will be able to provide here in The Villages.
Competition has come to town, and the Central Florida Health Alliance is doing fundraising, typical of any non-profit hospital, to equip the costly radiation treatment facility at The Villages' Moffitt Cancer Center branch opening here.
Fundraising by CFHA, to equip Leesburg Regional and The Villages Regional Hospitals is a longstanding, typical approach to building and equipping hospitals and their specialty clinics (see below).

Apparently the radiation doctor from Boisseneault wishes that he, too, were funded by charitable donations.
But then, most people know that when they set up a for-profit business or medical practice, that will not be the case.
Rather than "Clarifying" the differences between Moffitt's branch here and his own, this radiation oncologist has consistently clouded the issue more with these paid ads.
Moffitt's capability and reputation for treating ALL phases--not just radiation-- are well established:
