A nonprofit cancer centre in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, that provides radiation therapy, screening, clinical trials and support services at its main site and satellite centres in Louisiana and Mississippi.
Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center is a community-owned nonprofit cancer organisation. Its first radiation treatment centre opened in Baton Rouge in 1971, and in 1985 it moved to its present site on Essen Lane and installed the first linear accelerator in Louisiana, according to its own history. It later opened treatment centres in Hammond (1988), Covington (1998), Houma (2008), Gonzales (2009) and Natchez, Mississippi (2019). In 2018 it opened a breast and gynaecologic cancer pavilion, now the Woman's Cancer Pavilion, with Our Lady of the Lake and Woman's Hospital. It says every patient is evaluated for a clinical trial, and that it has collaborated with LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans and LSU Health Sciences Center Shreveport on a National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) grant, the Gulf South Minority/Underserved NCORP. Its latest filing with the IRS reports revenue of about $318.0 million (tax year ending 2025-06).
