US-based physician-led platform OneOncology has finalised a collaboration agreement with the Hematology Oncology Associates of the Treasure Coast (HOATC), aimed at enhancing the delivery of oncology services in Florida's Treasure Coast and surrounding areas.
The HOATC works with six physicians across four clinics in St Lucie and Martin Counties, employing 125 individuals focused on offering cost-effective healthcare.
The practice's services cover the cancer care continuum, facilitating clinical trials for patients.
OneOncology CEO Jeff Patton said: “The Treasure Coast physicians and care teams provide high-quality, patient-centric, and compassionate care to patients in their community.
“We are thrilled to welcome them to the OneOncology platform and look forward to working with our new partners to help their practice grow, add services along the continuum of care to their clinics, and continue bringing world-class cancer care to the communities they serve.”
The partnership enables HOATC to retain its independence while gaining access to OneOncology's extensive resources, including clinical, operational, and technological support.
These resources are designed to enhance the practice's capabilities, offering real-time clinical insights, collaborative research opportunities, advanced technological tools, and solutions to operational challenges.
Such support is essential for improving patient-centred care in areas including Port St Lucie.
HOATC physician Dr Heather Yeckes-Rodin at said: “We’re excited to join other leading independent oncology practices from Florida and across the country on the OneOncology platform.
“We’ve provided high-quality and compassionate cancer care to our patients on the Treasure Coast, and our OneOncology partnership will bring us capital, expertise, and proven solutions to grow our practice and continue meeting the needs of our patients and their families.”
Since its inception in 2018, OneOncology has welcomed 29 practices into its network nationwide, including the HOATC.
Earlier this year, OneOncology partnered with New York Oncology and Hematology (NYOH) to enhance cancer care services in Albany, US.
