About

Community Oncology Partners is an owner-operator of medical oncology practices that designs, develops, and invests in our sites of care within the communities we serve. Our growth platform model was built around giving our providers long-term financial incentives to provide best-in-class care to our most vulnerable communities.

Our Mission

To develop and operate oncology clinics that provide best-in-class treatment in underserved and rural communities across the country. To bridge the gap between pioneering treatments and the demographics in underserved communities.

Our Vision

Our vision is to provide excellent, evidence-based care for each patient we serve while continuously advancing cancer care. We strive to be at the forefront of innovation, research, and compassionate treatment, ensuring that our community members receive the highest quality of care in their fight against cancer.

Develop, own, and operate 300+ de novo (new build, new operation) medical oncology and specialty infusion clinics

Provide expanded care in underserved and rural markets

Provide vulnerable communities with cancer treatment

Why COP?

COP is a growth platform that assists clinicians in expanding their clinical operations. We are not an acquisition platform aiming to acquire existing practices in a roll-up strategy. Our sole focus is to meet the growing demand by opening new clinical sites, expanding office visit and infusion capacity, and truly serving our growing communities.
