What Cancer Care Northwest does

Cancer Care Northwest (CCNW) is a privately owned, for-profit integrated oncology practice headquartered in Spokane, Washington, founded in 1975 to deliver comprehensive cancer care to the Inland Northwest. The practice employs 251–500 staff and over 30 physicians and advanced practice providers, offering medical, surgical, and radiation oncology, hematology, and autologous stem cell transplantation through six clinic locations across Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, with co-located services at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center and the Kootenai Clinic Cancer Services sites in Coeur d'Alene and Post Falls.

The clinical platform rests on advanced technology infrastructure including the da Vinci Xi robotic surgical system, Elekta image-guided radiation therapy, Discovery IQ PET/CT imaging, Gamma Knife radiosurgery, Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy, High-Dose Brachytherapy, Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy, Tumor Treating Fields (Optune), and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC). CCNW also operates an in-house specialty oncology dispensing pharmacy and runs up to 60 clinical trials annually across breast, lung, head and neck, lymphoma, myeloma, ovarian, prostate, pancreatic, esophageal, and melanoma indications. Patient access is supported through Epic's MyChart portal, financial counseling, genetic risk assessments, counseling, nutrition services, patient navigation, and yoga programs.

CCNW generates revenue through professional and technical services billed to insurance payers, including medical, surgical, and radiation oncology, ancillary imaging, and its specialty pharmacy, with patient responsibility collected via co-pays, deductibles, and payment plans. The practice acquires patients through a hybrid model combining primary-care physician referral channels and direct patient intake (including second opinions), reinforced by content marketing, survivor-story content, video, community support groups, and PR. CCNW is the managing partner of The Alliance for Cancer Care, a regional joint venture with Kootenai Health and Providence Health Care, and is a member of The US Oncology Network, a national community-based cancer care network. In October 2025 it earned ASTRO APEx accreditation, and in 2026 it named Beth Passmore as Executive Director and Zohair Vaid as Pharmacy Director alongside an ongoing physician hiring wave.
