Culturally, US Oncology is a great organization, one that has a very strong integrity base as a foundation along with a value-people oriented culture and experience. 

US Oncology is the nation's largest health-care services network devoted exclusively to cancer treatment and research, and a pioneer in community-based cancer care since 1993. Today, their network of over 900 affiliated physicians delivers care to more than half a million cancer patients each year - including over 15% of all newly diagnosed U.S. cases. In fact, they serve more cancer patients than any other single health-care organization in America .

Building upon their network of more than 460 sites of services, including 85 cancer centers, in 32 states, they ensure the latest technology and treatment advances at the local level through three core services:

• Oncology Pharmaceutical Services
• Cancer Center Services
• Cancer Research Services

Working in partnership with leading oncologists, U.S. Oncology’s goal is to provide physicians and their patients access to a full range of capabilities - including diagnostic imaging, radiation, chemotherapy, pharmaceuticals, clinical trials and more - in local community-based outpatient settings. As a result, physicians have access to the resources they need to ensure that their patients receive the care they need, without leaving the people they care about.

Through US Oncology's core services - plus their unparalleled national scale - they are advancing the delivery of high-quality oncology care in many ways.

They are accelerating the pace of cancer research by accruing patients to clinical trials, allowing more patients to have access to new molecules and therapies. They are bringing state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment technologies to local towns and cities. They are leveraging economies-of-scale to reduce health-care costs. And they are working with patient advocacy groups to drive public-policy efforts.

Putting it simply, U.S. Oncology is a strong force in the war on cancer, employing their nationwide resources to fight cancer in every way possible. In doing so, they are driving an innovative new services model and helping oncologists deliver the best possible care.
