About Us

The Gulf Coast Cancer Institute is comprised of two world-class cancer treatment facilities, Gulf Coast Medical Center and the Gulf Coast Cancer Treatment Center.

Gulf Coast Medical Center

Gulf Coast Medical Center is a 176-bed acute care hospital located in Panama City, FL. The hospital has a long tradition of providing quality cancer care for patients in Bay and surrounding counties. The American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer accredits the hospital’s cancer program.

Gulf Coast Medical Center is the only hospital in the area with a permanent PET/CT—the most advanced diagnostic technology for the diagnosis of cancer. In fact, PET/CT technology allows doctors to diagnose cancer earlier than ever before. The benefits of PET/CT are far reaching—it allows doctors to diagnose tumors as cancerous or non-cancerous earlier than ever to being able and it allows physicians to prescribe cancer treatments earlier than ever. These advancements are tremendous benefits to patients and their caregivers.

In addition to being a leader in cancer diagnostic technology, Gulf Coast Medical Center is also a leader in providing a variety of surgical and non-surgical options for cancer patients, such as brachytherapy. For more information, visit www.egulfcoastmedical.com.

Gulf Coast Cancer Treatment Center

Since its establishment in 1991, the Gulf Coast Cancer Treatment Center (GCCTC) has been helping patients achieve the best quality of life possible through world-class cancer treatment offered close to home and near the support of family and friends. The practice provides high standards for patient satisfaction established through comprehensive cancer care. GCCTC’s board certified oncologists provide on-site radiation oncology and medical oncology services for patients.

GCCTC has been fully accredited by the American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO) since 1997. The ACRO accreditation evaluates both the clinical and physical aspects of the practice, and strives to ensure the established radiation oncology practice standards are reasonably met. GCCTC believes that through this accreditation procedure they can demonstrate the high quality of their radiation oncology practice to patients.
