Thank You!Our program of support services, wellness, education, social connections, information assistance, and referral is provided free of charge thanks to the amazing efforts

of caring and supportive individuals and companies dedicated to help fight the battle against cancer and ease the burden of all those whose lives have been impacted.

Support Services Sponsors

Co-founded by Elaine Lustig and Sheila Solomon in 1993, Women Playing For T.I.M.E.® is a volunteer organization dedicated to making a positive impact on women facing cancer. Since its inception, WPFT has raised over $10 million through signature golf

and tennis tournaments and a variety of other events throughout the year. Funds directly benefit cancer Technology, Immediate diagnosis, Mammography,

and Education (T.I.M.E.) at UF Health Cancer Center – Orlando Health.

Did you know that community-owned hospitals provide 95 percent of all vital but often unprofitable

health services? As Central Florida’s only community-owned hospital, Orlando Health reinvests all available

revenues into programs, equipment, facilities, and medical staff. Since 1918, we have been committed to providing the best quality healthcare for our region

and citizens. The Orlando Health Foundation is proud to honor the 1918 Society - an association of individuals deeply interested in the strategic priorities of Orlando

Health and in ensuring the availability of quality healthcare services. Members make philanthropic gifts to help provide leading-edge patient care and services, fund critical expansion needs and purchase the latest technology and equipment – all of which are vital to keeping pace with our community’s growing needs

and the rapid advances in medicine.

Thank You!Our program of support services, wellness, education, social connections, information assistance, and referral is provided free of charge thanks to the amazing efforts

of caring and supportive individuals and companies dedicated to help fight the battle against cancer and ease the burden of all those whose lives have been impacted.

Support Services Sponsors

Co-founded by Elaine Lustig and Sheila Solomon in 1993, Women Playing For T.I.M.E.® is a volunteer organization dedicated to making a positive impact on women facing cancer. Since its inception, WPFT has raised over $10 million through signature golf

and tennis tournaments and a variety of other events throughout the year. Funds directly benefit cancer Technology, Immediate diagnosis, Mammography,

and Education (T.I.M.E.) at UF Health Cancer Center – Orlando Health.

Did you know that community-owned hospitals provide 95 percent of all vital but often unprofitable

health services? As Central Florida’s only community-owned hospital, Orlando Health reinvests all available

revenues into programs, equipment, facilities, and medical staff. Since 1918, we have been committed to providing the best quality healthcare for our region

and citizens. The Orlando Health Foundation is proud to honor the 1918 Society - an association of individuals deeply interested in the strategic priorities of Orlando

Health and in ensuring the availability of quality healthcare services. Members make philanthropic gifts to help provide leading-edge patient care and services, fund critical expansion needs and purchase the latest technology and equipment – all of which are vital to keeping pace with our community’s growing needs

and the rapid advances in medicine.
