The UAB O’Neal Cancer Center Board of Advisors’ Patient and Family Services Committee and center director Barry Sleckman, M.D., Ph.D., recently spent a heartwarming evening at the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge, with a cookout and musical entertainment for patients and families staying during their cancer treatment. It was a special night filled with compassion, community, and meaningful connection. A special thank you to our talented musicians, Mark Taylor and Hiller Burton (daughter of Barbara Burton), for filling the room with music and joy. Together, moments like these remind us that healing includes kindness, fellowship, and support every step of the way.

To improve service and better meet demand, the UAB O’Neal Cancer Center began expanding our Acton Road clinic in March. The project should be completed by fall 2026.

The renovation will double capacity by adding seven new exam rooms, allowing more patients to receive timely, compassionate care close to home. It will also enable staff to deliver more efficient and personalized service.
This growth reflects our larger commitment to improving convenience and access to cancer services for the community. Patients will enjoy greater scheduling flexibility, fewer treatment delays, and better support for complex diagnoses. By investing in this facility, we hope to strengthen the role of our Acton Road clinic as a regional destination for high-quality oncology care.


Located just off Interstate 459, between Hoover and Vestavia Hills, this location brings leading-edge cancer care to Birmingham’s over-the-mountain communities and areas south of town, from the same providers that staff the UAB O’Neal Cancer Center downtown.

Our Story

The O'Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center at UAB is among the nation’s leading cancer research institutions and one of only 49 centers designated by the National Cancer Institute. Being routinely recognized as among the nation’s best means the citizens of Alabama have access to the latest therapies, cutting-edge clinical trials and the expertise needed to treat their cancer right in their own backyard.

From bench to bedside, the O'Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center is at the forefront of improving cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment, and scientists and clinician-scientists at UAB have pioneered advances in chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and nutrition. Our community outreach efforts reach vulnerable populations by providing the region with educational and prevention programs.

The O'Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center offers a full array of treatment options from multidisciplinary clinics filled with experts from across cancer fields to the latest state-of-the-art technology. The center is home to an outstanding faculty of 400 clinicians, scientists and clinician-scientists, many of whom are internationally and nationally recognized for their expertise in oncology. The O'Neal Cancer Center treats approximately 20,000 patients annually, with an estimated 5,000 new patients each year.
