Central Georgia Cancer Care is excited to announce their
partnership with the American Oncology Network (AON) (Nasdaq:
AONC), one of the nation’s fastest-growing networks of
community-based oncology practices, to further strengthen their
patient care and services by utilizing the network’s vast resources
and expertise.
Central Georgia Cancer Care is a nationally recognized
independent oncology practice known for providing personalized care
close to home. They treat patients diagnosed with cancers and blood
disorders at their clinics in Macon and Warner Robins. Their team
includes four Board-certified medical oncologists; a supportive
care physician Board-certified in hospice, palliative medicine,
physical medicine and rehabilitation; and 11 advanced practice
providers.
Additionally, the practice is dedicated to creating
opportunities for clinical trial participation and establishing
relationships with research hospitals to ensure patients have
access to cutting-edge care and therapies in Central and South
Georgia.
“We have been serving our community for over four decades, and
it is our honor to be a part of our patients’ journeys,” said
Bradley T. Sumrall, MD, Board-certified medical oncologist and
managing partner of Central Georgia Cancer Care. “Our commitment to
our patients’ well-being remains our top priority. To ensure
seamless care, we've joined forces with the American Oncology
Network, providing access to additional resources, support and
experts. We are excited about this partnership and look forward to
enhancing the services we offer our patients.”
Through the partnership with AON, the practice has access to
added essential patient services and support, in addition to the
high-quality care Central Georgia Cancer Care already provides.
Resources available to the physicians and their patients include
in-house pathology services, enhanced in-house specialty pharmacy
for oral oncolytic medication and care coordination for patients,
among other benefits.
“It is an exciting time when we welcome a new practice to our
network,” said Stephen “Fred” Divers, MD, AON’s chief medical
officer. “Central Georgia Cancer Care has been a cornerstone in the
community for cancer patients for over 40 years, providing
compassionate and personalized care and treatment plans to every
patient who walks into the clinics. Our goal, as is with all our
partners, is to provide access to essential services that alleviate
the burden of running an independent medical practice so that the
physicians can truly deliver patient-first care.”
“On behalf of AON’s leadership and the entire network, I would
like to extend a welcome to Central Georgia Cancer Care, its
physicians and care team,” said Todd Schonherz, AON’s chief
executive officer. “Community practices that deliver critical care
services, treatments and therapies help keep cancer care local and
affordable for patients. It is our mission to support independent
medical practices like Central Georgia Cancer Care to ensure it can
continue serving its communities.”
