HUNTSVILLE — In a move that is to “enhance the delivery of cancer services to Alabama communities,” Clearview Cancer Institute and OneOncology have formed a partnership, it was announced today.
Clearview Cancer Institute is the largest community oncology practice in Alabama and one of the five largest nationally. The practice has 25 medical oncologists caring for patients at cancer care clinics in Huntsville, Madison, Athens, Decatur, Florence, Cullman, Scottsboro, Anniston, and Jasper.
“Partnering with OneOncology will accelerate our growth trajectory across Alabama,” said Dr. John Waples. “OneOncology’s backbone infrastructure, data analytics, and unparalleled expertise assisting growth-oriented practices will unlock opportunities for our physicians and other practices across Alabama to expand patient access to high-quality cancer care at costs far below hospitals, all while maintaining practice independence.”
Clearview Cancer Institute has been caring for the lives of Alabamians for more than 30 years. The practice offers patients infusion, oral pharmacy, laboratory, imaging, and clinical research. The practice’s medical imaging technology includes MRI, ultrasound and PET/CT services.
“As one of CCI’s founders and someone who has practiced in Huntsville since 1979, I’ve experienced how community oncology has changed and given our patients high-quality cancer care treatment options close to home,” said Dr. Marshall Schreeder. “In my 30-year career, I’ve never been as excited for our future as I am now due to our partnership with OneOncology.
“By affiliating with leading oncology practices and physicians across the country, we will continue to grow and expand access to care throughout North Alabama.”
Nashville-based OneOncology is the fastest-growing national platform for independent oncology practices.
OneOncology was founded by community oncologists with a goal to enable community oncology practices to remain independent and to improve patient access to care in their communities, all at a lower cost than in the hospital setting.
“I have known and respected Drs. Schreeder and Waples and Gary Walton at CCI for over 20 years. Having such a successful practice join our partnership is both validating and gratifying,” said Dr. Jeff Patton, CEO of OneOncology. “We’re excited to help the practice grow and add cancer care services beneficial to their community.
“Our partnership will bring value to Alabama employers and payers as OneOncology continues to innovate clinically and deliver high-value cancer care.”
