Lafayette General Medical Center



Cancer Center of Acadiana
We are not your normal cancer center. What sets us apart is that you are at the center of everything we do. We start by making things convenient, and pleasant: Valet parking. A soothing infusion center, with the option of taking treatment outside. An onsite pharmacy and lab.  Courtesy transportation, if needed.

But what leaves a lasting impression goes deeper than convenience, beginning with your first meeting with the patient navigator.  A cancer survivor and nurse, she immediately makes you feel at home as she answers your questions, helps you process your emotions, and guides you to the resources you need.  By the time you meet with one of our compassionate oncologists, it hits you . . . you haven’t come to ‘a’ center.  You are at THE center of a support team, and you are not alone.

In addition to the experience and skill of our oncologists, a team of professionals will continue to guide you through diagnosis, treatment and into survivorship. That team includes:

- Dedicated nutritionists

- Licensed clinical social workers

- Nurse practitioners/patient educators

This coordination of care, under one roof, in addition to the specialized services listed below is unmatched in Acadiana, improving your access to timely care, as well as facilitating better communications with you and your family.

- On site lab and pharmacy

- Library/resource room for family consultations

- Courtesy transportation available for patients, if needed

- Comforting infusion center with 6 infusion bays – including a landscaped courtyard for infusion/chemotherapy if a patient chooses to enjoy the outdoors during treatment

Our mission is to be patient-centered – with all aspects of care personalized to your individual needs.

Cancer Center of Acadiana at Abbeville General

Lafayette General Medical Center (LGMC) has expanded its award-winning service to the residents of Vermilion Parish thanks to a new partnership with Abbeville General Hospital (AGH).

The new Cancer Center of Acadiana at Abbeville General offers the same clinical treatments as those in Lafayette and in renowned cancer centers in Houston and throughout the country.

The Cancer Center of Acadiana at Abbeville General brings an identity as a top cancer treatment facility in the area, which should provide comfort to both patients and their families. Physicians at the CCA at Lafayette General, including Salman Malad, M.D., will spend time working at the CCA at Abbeville General. AGH now contains a medical oncology clinic and is licensed for a six-chair infusion center.

"Lafayette General values the people of Acadiana,” stated LGMC President and CEO David L. Callecod. "Reducing the variation in the way cancer care is delivered makes it better for the patient in every aspect and keeps us true to our mission to restore, maintain and improve health.”

Lafayette General hopes to utilize this clinical affiliation with Abbeville General as the stepping stone for more clinical service line partnerships in the future.

"We are pleased to work alongside LGMC in bringing cutting-edge cancer treatment standards to Abbeville General,” said AGH CEO Ray Landry. "This allows the residents of Vermilion Parish the convenience of seeking world-class medical treatment without leaving home.”

One year ago, Lafayette General partnered its Cancer Center of Acadiana with Savoy Medical Center in Mamou to provide treatment to those in the Evangeline Parish area. This affiliation proved to be extremely valuable to patients in the Central Louisiana parishes of Allen, Avoyelles, Evangeline, Rapides and St. Landry, helping those residents receive care close to home.
