Practice is 2nd from Connecticut and 22nd Nationally to Join OneOncology

NASHVILLE, Tenn. and MIDDLETOWN, Conn., June 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Connecticut Oncology Group and OneOncology, the fastest-growing national platform for independent oncology practices, have announced a finalized partnership to enhance the delivery of cancer services in and around Middlesex County, Connecticut.

Connecticut Oncology Group (COG) has 4 medical oncologists and 3 advanced practice providers caring for patients at their offices in Middletown and Westbrook.  A fifth oncologist will begin caring for patients next month. COG, which offers infusion services and has an in-office drug dispensing program, will continue its strong relationship with Middlesex Health and Middlesex Cancer Center as the practice plans to grow and add services along the cancer care continuum. 

COG is the second practice in the Constitution State to join the OneOncology platform. Eastern Connecticut Hematology and Oncology in Norwich joined OneOncology in 2020. COG’s partnership with OneOncology solidifies a strong future for community oncology as the high-quality, high-value, and lower-cost cancer care provider in Connecticut.

“This partnership strengthens oncology services in Middlesex County and Connecticut,” said Susanna Hong, MD, managing partner, COG. “OneOncology’s clinical, operational and technological expertise assisting independent practices will accelerate our ability to offer more Connecticut patients and families high-quality care at affordable costs,” “We’re thrilled to partner with OneOncology and look forward to working with our strong network of local referring physicians to ensure their patients have access to the highest-quality care available anywhere in the country.”
