As announced in May, the practice is especially eager to engage in clinical research through Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI). Since its inception, SCRI has contributed to pivotal research that has helped advance the majority of new cancer therapies approved by the FDA today. In collaboration with SCRI, TCS will be able to provide patients convenient access to some of the most innovative investigational therapies in the communities where patients live.

“The stability, experience, resources, and professionalism of The Network drew us to the organization,” Dobbs stated. “We are excited to collaborate with this highly respected group of independent providers to achieve our mutual goal of bringing advanced cancer care to more communities.”

TCS is the premier provider of advanced cancer care in eastern Tennessee with 15 physicians and 45 advanced practice providers (APPs) delivering world-class cancer care across 16 locations. The practice is committed to putting the patient first by delivering high-quality, compassionate, evidence-based care designed specifically to meet the unique needs of each patient. A full-service, comprehensive medical oncology and hematology practice, TCS offers onsite infusion centers, cutting-edge clinical trials, on call 24/7 support, knowledgeable billing and insurance staff, financial counseling and patient assistance, plus in-office pharmacy services for added convenience. The practice also provides non-oncology injections and infusions for patients who require specialty infusion services for other conditions, giving patients the convenience of dealing with one facility for all their infusion needs.

The physicians and APPs of TCS are among many who have recently joined The Network. Within the last 18 months, The Network has welcomed more than 400 new providers into the organization. This continued growth trajectory is significantly increasing the availability of advanced cancer care in local communities from strong, viable, and independent practices.
