Sarasota hospital and fire departments form cancer collaborative

Longboat Key Fire Rescue and other local fire departments teamed up with Sarasota Memorial’s Brian D. Jellison Cancer Institute to form the "Firefighter Cancer Collaborative.” “I changed a lot of things when I found out I had cancer," said Jane Herrin, Longboat Key Fire Assistant Chief and Fire Marshal. Herrin, a breast cancer survivor, said firefighting changed a lot in the 35-plus years she’s been on the job.
