Mountain Radiation Oncology and Mission Health are enhancing their existing relationship by entering into a Professional Services Agreement effective August 1st. With this agreement, Mountain Radiation Oncology will provide radiation oncology services on behalf of Mission Health.
The physicians within
MRO have a long-standing relationship with Mission Health, providing high
quality, compassionate, care alongside other clinicians at Mission’s SECU
Cancer Center.
“This agreement is in
line with our ongoing effort to expand and strengthen our multi-disciplinary
team approach within Mission Cancer Services,” said Jonathan Bailey, Vice
President, Operations, Mission Health. “With this relationship, Mission
continues to elevate the quality of care our patients are receiving.”
Radiation
oncology is one of the three primary specialties involved in the treatment of
cancer. Radiation oncologists work closely with other physicians such
as surgical oncologists and medical oncologists as
part of the multi-disciplinary cancer team.
"This agreement is a natural
extension of a greater than 35 year partnership between Mission and
Mountain Radiation Oncology. It will allow even closer alignment
in oncology care, which will ultimately benefit the cancer patients
of our region," said Eric Kuehn, MD at Mountain Radiation Oncology.
Mountain
Radiation Oncology, at 21 Hospital Drive, Asheville, is made up of 5 board
certified physicians: Kellie Condra, Matthew Hull, Eric Kuehn, W. Mark
McCollough, and Sesalie Smathers.
