As you drive onto the campus you are instructed to park in the Red, Blue or Gold valet parking areas. Car attendants are buzzing all over the place working at a fast pace handling 10-20 cars at once. As you step foot into the center, the blood draw area is usually your first stop and is within 20 feet of the main door. You quickly receive an electronic buzzer and are asked to sit in the waiting area. They have so many nurses drawing blood you will seldom have to wait more than 10 minutes before your buzzer goes off. The blood results are sent to your doctor within 30 minutes so by the time you walk down the hall for an appointment, your test results are waiting for you!
If for any reason you need to see a doctor in another building, they immediately radio for a golf cart and drive you wherever you need to go. It appears that there is constant communication going on among the staff at all times. The systems they have in place put you at ease and the routine brings comfort allowing you to focus on what's really important during your visit...and that is your health and healing. Moffitt Cancer Center is a big part of why...my cup is half full.
