As we reflect on the past year, it’s clear that meaningful change doesn’t happen in isolation. It grows from shared commitment, collective effort, and the relationships we nurture along the way. Progress this year came through collaboration—working side by side with practices in The Network to create solutions that make a lasting difference for providers and the patients they care for. We focused on building connections and laying the foundation for sustainable growth, to continue delivering exceptional care close to home well into the future. Through thoughtful partnerships and innovative approaches, The Network is positioning itself to meet the needs of tomorrow.

The Network Today: Strength and Momentum

This year, our footprint continued to grow by welcoming Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute along with a number of new practices that joined current partners like Millenium Physicians (Texas Oncology), ChristianaCare (Medical Oncology Hematology Consultants), and Colon and Rectal Surgical Associates (Minnesota Oncology). We also renewed our agreement with Southern Cancer Center, reinforcing our shared commitment to community oncology.

Through these new practices and strategic recruiting efforts for other practices, we welcomed over 900 new providers to existing practices in The Network—expanding expertise and strengthening care teams to meet the evolving needs of patients and communities.

This scale matters because it highlights our national reach and the ability to keep care close to home for patients while providing strong support for practices. Behind these numbers are real results that amplify the collaborative efforts, the strength, and the momentum of The Network and the impact we are making together.

Here are a few highlights from 2025:

• Accelerate: In early November, we joined 1,500 other physicians, clinicians, practice leaders, and industry experts in Las Vegas for the inaugural McKesson event to ignite the future of community oncology.
• Clinical Research: Our partnership with SCRI boosted trial enrollment by 33%, which not only improves patient access to cutting-edge clinical therapies but also can help achieve better outcomes.
• Technology: Over 1,000 providers have leveraged DeepScribe AI for ambient AI noting, saving on average 2-3 hours per week, helping to reduce provider burnout.
• Patient Experience: Across The Network, patient access has increased, leading to a 70% reduction in patient wait times across our practices.
• Value-Based Care: Through the Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM) performance periods 1 & 2, our efforts delivered $88 million in gross savings for Medicare compared to benchmark, with Network practices representing over 50% of patients, reinforcing our commitment to leadership in high-quality, cost-effective care.
• Advanced Therapies: We are bringing next-generation cancer care into community settings through bold investments, practice-led resources, and integrated surgical partnerships that create true centers of excellence. All practices in The Network support bispecific therapies, with several offering options for CAR-T, and over half of our practices providing radiopharmaceutical treatment options to patients.
• Public Policy: Physician-led engagements, such as congressional fly-ins and targeted Capitol Hill visits, actively lobbied Congress to advance site-neutral reimbursement policies, ensuring community oncology practices receive equitable payments regardless of care setting, and influenced other issues, including telehealth access, prior authorization reform, and cancer screening policies.
• Precision Medicine: Through the Precision Care Companion program, 12 practices across The Network are advancing personalized cancer care in the community. This initiative integrates education, clinical support, technology, data analytics, and best practices to bring precision oncology closer to home for patients.

However, when we talk about growth and momentum, it’s not just numbers – growth means something deeper.

Investing in Practices

In 2025, we committed over $114 million in capital investments to strengthen practices and expand access to care. From modernized patient facilities at Virginia Cancer Specialists, to expanded service lines at Maryland Oncology Hematology that bring more services closer to home for patients, and new spaces for advanced therapies at Compass Oncology and Texas Oncology —these investments reflect our commitment to keeping cancer care local, accessible, and ready for the future.

Meeting modern-day oncology challenges head-on demands a strategic partnership, scalable infrastructure, and innovation that works in the real world. 

Looking Forward

The future of The Network is being shaped every day—through decisions, pilots, and conversations that reflect the shared commitment of our partners. Together, we are defining what success looks like and co-creating the next chapter of cancer care.

As we move forward, we’ll continue building this momentum—exploring new ideas, strengthening partnerships, and finding innovative ways to support practices and patients. We’re proud to navigate the future together. Because excellence in cancer care has a network.
