e+CancerCare,
a leading operator of outpatient cancer care centers that combines
clinical and service expertise to better manage patients, today
announced a major partnership with OncoLogics, Inc., a Lafayette-based
radiation oncology group. The partnership represents e+CancerCare's
entry into the Louisiana and Mississippi markets and adds eight
locations to e+CancerCare's portfolio of 16 outpatient community cancer
care centers in Wyoming, Florida, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas and Georgia.
OncoLogics is the only American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO)
accredited facility in the state of Louisiana.
"OncoLogics is widely recognized as the most comprehensive radiation
oncology provider in the region, and is well-known in the community as
an education resource," said Amy Radcliff, president and chief operating
officer at e+CancerCare. "At e+CancerCare, we believe in a patient
centric approach, collaborating with local providers in order to deliver
the best cancer care in the community. Our partnership with OncoLogics
offers patients the most complete cancer therapy option built on our
deep understanding of coordinated clinical care with world class
service."
e+CancerCare's partnership will help to expand services, treatments and
technologies at each of OncoLogics eight centers in the region.
OncoLogics patients will also have access to the e+CancerCare CancerHome™
program, a formalized approach to care that surrounds patients with
support tools from nutrition and financial counseling to collaboration
around clinical care.
"When it comes to treating cancer, we strongly believe that close
proximity to your local support system plays a critical role in both
treatment and recovery," said M. Maitland DeLand, M.D., president, CEO
and owner of OncoLogics. "It's clear that the e+CancerCare team is
culturally aligned with our philosophy of providing quality cancer care
close to home. This partnership is a natural extension of our commitment
to increase access to the most personalized and advanced treatment
modalities and support services."
