Premier Radiation Oncology Ribbon-Cutting

Premier Radiation Oncology hosted the Brandon Chamber of Commerce in its official ribbon-cutting ceremony in February. The event featured staff, physicians, local businesses and former patients, including Tony Saladino Jr., Brandon’s Citizen of the Year for 2019. Premier Radiation Oncology announced the exciting arrival of the newest radiation delivery equipment in the nation with their Halcyon linear accelerator built by Varian.

As a radiation oncology clinic, Premier uses X-Rays to cure cancer. The Halcyon linear accelerator is the most precise machine in operation and allows them to visualize the entire area before receiving radiation treatment to ensure that it is both safe and effective on a daily basis.

The team, led by Dr. Alexander Engelman—the number one Radiation Oncologist in the Tampa area, as peer-nominated in Tampa Magazine—and his dynamic staff of nurses, physicists, dosimetrists and radiation therapists, demonstrated not only a commitment to the latest in technological advancement but also a commitment to supporting patients and their families throughout their journey to healing. The center offers patients and families nutritional guidance, alternative and complementary treatment recommendations and encourages engagement with faith, family and community.

More than just focused on beating cancer, Premier Radiation Oncology has established a truly unique commitment to how these therapies impact the community at large, in particular the environment. Through their partnership with a local sustainability advising group, ShiftCo, all cancer treatments for 2019 will be carbon-neutral. To the center’s knowledge, no other cancer center in the nation can claim to have zero-footprint cancer therapy.

Premier Radiation Oncology is located at 3140 S. Falkenburg Rd. in Riverview. Call 734-8911.

Tampa Bay Building Supplies Company Honored By Florida State University

Global Sales, a Gibsonton-based building supplies business, was recognized on the 2019 during Florida State University’s Second Annual Seminole 100 Celebration on March 2 at FSU’s University Center Club in Doak Campbell Stadium.

The 2019 Seminole 100, hosted by the Jim Moran Institute for Global Entrepreneurship at the FSU College of Business in partnership with the FSU Alumni Association and EY, recognized the 100 fastest-growing businesses owned by Florida State alumni.

Global Sales was ranked 79th with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.67 percent.

Global Sales’ recognition by Florida State University reflects the demand for high quality building supplies and materials in Bermuda and the Caribbean, and Global Sales’ dedication to providing island-specific materials, professional design services, efficient shipping and consolidation and superior customer service. While many businesses on the list are relatively new, Global Sales has been in business for 40 years, demonstrating solid revenue growth well beyond the start-up phase.

“We are deeply gratified about being named to the Seminole 100. This honor is entirely about the efforts of our dedicated team, and the trust shown to us by our loyal customers. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to both for making this honor possible,” commented Jeff Collins, President of Global Sales.

“The remarkable success of these business owners reflects well on the university, and we are incredibly proud that they are Florida State alumni,” said Melissa Roberts, managing director of the Jim Moran Institute. “Seminole 100 is our way of recognizing entrepreneurial excellence among our alumni, and it helps fulfill Florida State’s goal of becoming a preeminent university that embraces entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation across campus.”

To qualify, a company must have been in business for at least three years and generated revenue by January 1, 2015. Additionally, it must be owned or majority managed by an FSU alumnus for three consecutive years prior to nomination.
