PEP Talks with Moffitt
Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood: John Robertson - The Extra Inch
Welcome to PEP Talks and our series, Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood?, where we introduce you to the people whose stories help bring Moffitt’s culture of care to life. Sometimes those people work here. Sometimes they are patients or family members whose experiences remind us why the smallest moments matter. John Robertson came to Moffitt for prostate cancer treatment frightened and uncertain. He says he was looking for weakness everywhere—but instead, he found strength. He found it in the smallest moments of his experience: a warm welcome, a reassuring smile, a cup of coffee, and a team member who helped him believe he could take the next step. But John didn’t simply leave Moffitt grateful. He became a student of the culture he experienced here—and began asking how he could bring that same intentional care back into his own neighborhood, to the vulnerable children and families his organization serves across Florida. In John’s story, the care he received here didn’t stop at Moffitt’s doors. It traveled with him. This is The Extra Inch.
