OneOncology includes five practices throughout the U.S., represents over 400 providers, and cares for approximately 250,000 patients annually at 160 sites of care. OneOncology partner practices deliver integrated oncology care services including screening and diagnosis, clinical trials, therapies, and survivorship or end-of-life care. A main responsibility of OneOncology is to help its partner practices expand services in cancer care.

“We formed OneOncology in 2018 with the idea that with physician leadership, common technology platforms, and access to capital, practices could have both the necessary scale and local decision-making authority needed to not only survive but thrive in today’s marketplace,” Patton said in a statement. “Today, as practices grapple with COVID-19 and plan for caring for patients post peak, the ideas that brought us together are exactly what will propel our future growth.”

Patton will continue as the executive chairman of the board at Tennessee Oncology.
