The Zangmeister Center and Columbus Oncology and Hematology Associates Announce Merger
Centers Join Forces to Maintain High Standard of Community Cancer Care
April 30, 2012 - (Columbus, Ohio) – In a concerted move to maintain the high standard of community oncology in central Ohio, two leading cancer care providers, Columbus Oncology and Hematology Associates and The Mark H. Zangmeister Cancer Center, have reached an agreement to merge their organizations.
The merger will create a unified entity of 21 physician members. Both centers will maintain their current locations, physicians and staff.
As healthcare costs continue to rise nationwide, the two Columbus organizations say joining forces will better position them to compete in a challenging health care environment. The merger will enable them to deliver more coordinated care while maintaining reasonable costs for patients, insurers and employers alike.
The union will allow the organizations to maintain independent offices and continue to work closely with central Ohio hospitals and other groups to offer high quality care and treatment.
“By unifying community cancer care in Columbus, we will benefit our patients by providing a greater breadth and depth of services and expertise,” said Dr. Patrick Elwood, president of the Zangmeister Center. “Both of our organizations are committed to providing the highest standard of service to our patients and this merger will assure that care continues.”
Dr. Peter Kourlas, president of Columbus Oncology and Hematology Associates agrees. “Our organizations were founded with the same mission: to offer a level of attention and patient care that is unique to the community oncology setting. By combining our strengths, it’s a win for our patients, our own practices and cancer care in central Ohio.”
