Joseph Purington talks about his cancer care before ringing the new Bell of Hope at the Leo W. Jenkins Cancer Center.

Joseph Purington paused before becoming the first cancer patient to ring the new Bell of Hope at the Leo W. Jenkins Cancer Center.

“I love you all and everything you’ve done for me, and God bless,” he said to the gathered staff and physicians before taking the rope attached to the clapper and sending a few rings around the lobby.
