Partnership with American Oncology Network and
acquisition of United Oncology Medical Associates marks the
beginning of OCP's national growth
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 18,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Oncology Care Partners, an
oncology provider built solely to provide value-based care, today
announces the launch of its first two practices across three
locations, bringing its transformative care model to cancer
patients in Phoenix and
Miami in the first steps of a
national growth plan.
OCP is advancing value-based care in oncology nationwide by
bringing high-touch, whole-person care that enhances the patient
experience across its medical oncology practices. Accelerating the
adoption of value-based care improves the journey to better health
and quality of life while reducing unnecessary services and
lowering costs.
"With cancer costs rising exponentially and care becoming more
complex, we see an opportunity to create a better, more focused
patient journey in medical oncology care that simultaneously
provides value for payors and at-risk primary care groups," said
Erich Mounce, OCP CEO. "It's
important for us to create world-class practices led by physicians
who are committed to our mission, well-respected and trusted in
their communities, and our new locations in Phoenix and Miami do exactly that."
American Oncology Network Partnership
OCP's Arizona launch comes in
partnership with the American Oncology Network (AON), an alliance
of physicians and health care leaders partnering to ensure the
long-term success of community oncology. Representing 107
physicians and 89 nurse practitioners and physician assistants
practicing across 18 states, AON brings three decades of oncology
practice management experience to its partnership with OCP. The
partners share the vision of value-based care as the future of
oncology, and teaming with the trusted AON brand supports OCP's
mission to bring value-based care to patients nationwide.
The practice, based in Surprise,
Arizona, delivers highly individualized cancer treatment for
all types of cancer and is led by Dr. David
Y. Kahn. The board-certified medical oncologist's two
decades of experience have taken him all over the country, but the
Phoenix native returned in 2010
and has been practicing in the West Valley ever since. He is an
expert in evaluating, diagnosing, managing, and treating oncologic
and hematologic malignancies and is on staff at Banner Del
E. Webb and Banner Boswell medical
centers.
"I'm thrilled to be working with Oncology Care Partners to
provide the very best treatment and experience in a comfortable,
simplified journey for patients in the Phoenix community," said Dr. David Kahn, MD, MPH. "OCP's value-based care
model will allow me to spend more time where I should be — with my
patients."
United Oncology Medical Associates
Acquisition
To bring its value-based care model to patients in South Florida, OCP has acquired United
Oncology Medical Associates, a Miami-based medical group practice
specializing in medical oncology. The two Miami locations are led by doctors
Myriam Landrin and Francisco E. Belette, both of whom have been
practicing in the South Florida
community since 1992. The OCP model will introduce a new
patient journey and digital tools that enable these trusted
community clinicians to spend more time with patients and eliminate
barriers to access.
VieCure Partnership
In conjunction with launches in Miami and Arizona, OCP has also established a
partnership with VieCure, an artificial intelligence platform and
cancer knowledge base that empowers personalized patient care.
VieCure's Halo Intelligence platform will power OCP's oncology
practices, improving patient experience and helping OCP bring
precision medicine to communities that need it.
"We view VieCure as an important strategic partner," said
Joe Pietrzak, Oncology Care Partners
CFO and head of development. "We share a mission: to make cancer
care better for patients. As this partnership grows, we have the
opportunity to accelerate growth for both companies and, by
extension, the positive impact on cancer patients."
