What Oregon Oncology Specialists does

Oregon Oncology Specialists (OOS) is a physician-owned oncology and hematology practice headquartered in Salem, Oregon, founded in 1978 (under the name Hematology Oncology of Salem until a 2017 rebrand) and currently operating as a practice of Oregon Specialty Group. The practice delivers comprehensive cancer care across 10 points of service - four directly owned clinics in Salem (Oak Street and WaterPlace), McMinnville, Silverton, and Woodburn, plus five Samaritan Health Services locations in Albany, Lebanon, Lincoln City, Newport, and Corvallis - covering the mid-Willamette Valley, Oregon coast, and eastern Oregon. Its clinical offering spans the core oncology modalities (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, hematology, genetic testing, and personalized medicine), supported by an outpatient infusion center, an in-office oral chemotherapy dispensary opened in 2015, on-site laboratory and ECG, and a clinical trials program conducted through the Exigent Research community oncology network in partnership with OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. Support services include cancer nurse navigators, licensed clinical social workers, nutritional counseling, palliative care, survivorship planning, and financial counseling.

The practice is staffed by 16 board-certified medical oncologists and hematologists and 12 Advanced Practice Providers, with training pedigrees from Mayo Clinic, UCLA, OHSU, Moffitt Cancer Center, and University of Michigan, and is a managing member of QCCA (Quality Cancer Care Alliance), one of the largest U.S. private-practice oncology consortiums. It is positioned as one of the last physician-owned oncology practices in the Pacific Northwest.

The business model is fee-for-service medical services billing through patient insurance plans (commercial, Medicare, Medicaid) supplemented by oral specialty chemotherapy dispensing margin and clinical trial per-patient reimbursement; the practice does not disclose revenue and reports no private equity, venture capital, or institutional ownership. Growth is funded entirely from operating cash flow and has been deployed into new clinic locations, physician recruiting, and clinical trial program scaling rather than external capital markets.
