Southern Cancer Center Information

Southern Cancer Center, P.C. was founded in 2007 as a group of physicians who wanted to provide care for oncology patients in Mobile and Baldwin counties. The group became independent practitioners instead of hospital based in order to better meet the needs of what our patients were telling us they wanted. Since that time, we have built and opened a large cancer center in Daphne, Alabama named after our Founder, Dr. Michael W. Meshad, President of Southern Cancer Center. This center is the only full service cancer center in Baldwin county that provides both medical and radiation oncology under one roof. Also in Baldwin County, we have offices in Foley and on the campus of Thomas Hospital. We have offices on campus at Providence Hospital, Springhill Medical Center, and Mobile Infirmary in Mobile County. The physicians wanted to be located and support the communities where our patients are from, not have patients drive to a central location. We are committed to our patients, period. Southern Cancer Center has well trained and dedicated staff. Our chemotherapy infusion nurses are either ONS certified and/or preparing for certification. We were the ONLY cancer site in Alabama recognized for having at least 75% of our nurses certified. The employees of SCC practice the team approach to taking care of patients. We understand that it takes each of us to meet all of the needs of oncology patients. Our patients and our communities matter to us. We work with all hospitals and we practice “institutional integrity,” which means we support our local hospitals, our local physicians, and work with our patients to ensure that their care is provided where they prefer. Our goal is to help patients navigate from cancer treatment to cancer survivor….it is why we exist and is our passion.
