The Proton International facility at UAB has treated its first patient with proton therapy.

“We celebrate this first of many patients who will be treated at UAB with this advanced technology,” said Will Ferniany, CEO of the UAB Health System. “With this technology, we will improve the quality of life for many cancer patients and their families in Alabama and the Southeast.”

It is the first center in Alabama to offer proton therapy and one of only 35 in the United States to offer the advanced cancer therapy. The Birmingham location provides convenience to patients who need to access additional services on UAB’s medical campus.
