July 10, 2023 – The US Oncology Network, the largest organization of its kind dedicated to advancing local cancer care and better patient outcomes, announced that Cancer Center of Kansas (CCK) has joined The Network, effective July 1, 2023, by entering into a new managed services partnership. This addition expands The Network’s service area into Kansas and continues its strong growth trajectory with nearly 240 providers joining The Network since the beginning of the calendar year.
A leading cancer provider across Kansas for more than 40 years, CCK is and will remain the largest physician-owned, independent practice in the state with 13 physicians and six advanced practice providers delivering care from 20 sites of service. CCK brings high-quality cancer care to rural areas in Kansas through a committed and dedicated team of over 300 employees, including more than 90 nurses, so patients can receive the very latest advancements in cancer treatments and research in the communities where they live and work.
By becoming a member of The Network, CCK gains access to a wealth of resources that will strengthen its ability to deliver high-quality community cancer care while remaining independent. As part of The Network, the practice greatly increases opportunities for their patients to participate in clinical trials, as The Network is a worldwide leader in cancer research.
Cancer Center of Kansas can utilize the substantial resources of The Network, an integrated and supportive organization dedicated to helping providers maintain their independence and prosper in today’s challenging environment. Additionally, CCK’s clinical staff can collaborate with their colleagues across The Network, tapping into the collective knowledge and experience of more than 2,300 independent providers across the U.S.
