For nearly 30 years, Ackerman Cancer Center has been setting the standard for cancer care on Amelia Island. Now, that commitment to excellence has earned another major recognition.
This recognition is a direct reflection of what matters most to us: delivering the highest quality personalized cancer care, creating exceptional patient experiences, advancing innovative cancer treatments, and serving our community with compassion and expertise every single day.
Dedicated Care on Amelia Island Since 1998
Since opening our Amelia Island location in 1998, Ackerman Cancer Center has become a trusted destination for cancer treatment and breast health services in Fernandina Beach, Nassau County, and throughout Northeast Florida.
What began as a commitment to bring advanced cancer care closer to home, has grown into one of the region’s most respected cancer centers. For decades, patients have chosen Ackerman Cancer Center because they know they will receive personalized attention, leading-edge technology, and a team that treats them like family.
Today, our Amelia Island location continues that mission by providing world-class radiation oncology services and comprehensive breast health care without requiring patients to travel long distances for specialized treatment.
Why Patients Choose Ackerman Cancer Center
A cancer diagnosis changes everything. That’s why our philosophy has always been simple: every patient deserves individualized care designed around their unique needs.
At Ackerman Cancer Center, patients are never treated like a number. Our physicians, nurses, radiation therapists, technologists, and support staff take the time to get to know every patient and develop treatment plans tailored specifically to their diagnosis, goals, and lifestyle.
From the moment a patient walks through our doors, they experience a level of care that goes beyond medicine. They find a team committed to guiding them through every step of their journey with expertise, compassion, and unwavering support.
Leaders in Breast Care and Breast Imaging
Ackerman Breast Clinic has also established itself as a leader in breast health and breast cancer care across Northeast Florida.
Early detection remains one of the most powerful tools in the fight against breast cancer, which is why we continue to invest in advanced breast imaging technologies that help identify cancers earlier and more accurately. Our commitment to innovation has positioned Ackerman as a destination for women seeking the highest level of breast imaging and breast cancer services available in the region.
Most notably, Ackerman Cancer Center is proud to be the only provider in Northeast Florida offering Contrast Enhanced Mammography (CEM). This advanced imaging technology provides physicians with enhanced visualization that can help detect certain breast cancers with greater confidence. By bringing CEM to Northeast Florida, Ackerman continues to lead the way in expanding access to cutting-edge breast imaging technologies that were previously unavailable to many local patients.
Advanced Radiation Oncology Close to Home
As one of Florida’s leading radiation oncology practices, Ackerman Cancer Center combines decades of clinical expertise with advanced treatment technologies to deliver highly precise cancer care.
Our radiation oncology team provides personalized treatment plans that maximize effectiveness while prioritizing patient comfort and quality of life. Patients throughout Amelia Island, Fernandina Beach, Nassau County, and beyond have access to sophisticated cancer treatment options without leaving their community. This commitment to innovation, precision, and compassionate care has helped establish Ackerman Cancer Center as a recognized leader in cancer treatment throughout Northeast Florida.
