Los Angeles Cancer Network is joining the OneOncology platform.
Los Angeles, CA & Nashville, TN—OneOncology, a national partnership of independent oncology practices, today announced that Los Angeles Cancer Network (LACN) is joining the platform as the oncology network expands into California.
LACN has 18 providers who care for patients at nine locations throughout the greater Los Angeles area. The independently owned practice treats more than 2500 patients annually along the continuum of cancer care from screening and diagnosis to cutting-edge therapies and clinical trials to survivorship or end-of-life care.
“LACN is an incredible practice built by a dedicated team who have all created a culture of providing excellent patient-centered oncology care throughout the Los Angeles area,” said Jeff Patton, MD, CEO, OneOncology. “We’re very excited to help LACN grow in California and have their physicians and care teams contribute to advancing oncology care throughout the country as part of our partnership. Having LACN join OneOncology—especially against the headwinds of a pandemic—also reflects the strength of our model to physicians who want to remain independent and retain local decision-making authority but understand that in order to thrive a practice requires economies of scale and intelligence that a partnership like ours delivers.”
