Tampa hospital expands cancer specialist team

Patients seeking treatment for lung cancer can breathe a sigh of relief: Tampa General Hospital recently expanded its team of specialists by onboarding thoracic surgeon Dr. Jonathan Daniel at its Center for Lung Cancer within the TGH Cancer Institute. 

As a young man, Daniel was inspired to pursue medicine after his father underwent heart surgery and went on to serve in hospitals all over the country, from Massachusetts to Alaska.
