FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute to Support MOSI’s
The Amazing You Exhibition
Florida Cancer Specialist provides $50,000 toward The Amazing You.
Tampa, FL (October 27, 2010) – The Museum of Science & Industry (MOSI) is proud to announce a recent gift of
$50,000 from Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute to support The Amazing You exhibition. Each life stage in
The Amazing You is designed not only to be educational, but also to be interactive and thought-provoking. As visitors
examine their own life stages, the hope is that they will be inspired to make better choices about their current lifestyle and
health habits.
The Amazing You is a state-of-the-art exhibition on health, wellness, and prevention that explores developmental
milestones and teaches visitors what it takes to remain healthy and vital at each stage of life. The Amazing You covers the
entire 13,000+ square feet of MOSI’s 3rd floor. This multisensory, experiential journey allows MOSI guests to discover
the key preventive healthcare and medical care measures they should take to improve their quality of life and take charge
of their health.
Alicia Slater-Haase, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Development at MOSI said, “MOSI is extremely honored to
receive this gift from Florida Cancer Specialists, and we look forward to working with them for many years to come on
our newest permanent exhibition, The Amazing You.”
Brad Prechtl, CEO of FCS, said, “As the largest privately-owned oncology/hematology practice in the United States, our
physicians know the importance of educating communities about healthy lifestyles. This partnership in health between
MOSI and Florida Cancer Specialists will reach approximately one million individuals each year for ten to twelve years,
and we think the more people understand about cancer and early detection, the better outcome for patients in the future.”
Dr. William Harwin, President of Florida Cancer Specialists, added, “Our commitment to providing personalized and
caring treatment and services will be clearly explained in the cancer exhibition of The Amazing You exhibition. We look
forward to collaborating with MOSI on this most important exhibit.”
