Oncology Hematology Associates

What Oncology Hematology Associates does

Oncology Hematology Associates (OHA) is a physician-owned community oncology and hematology practice founded in 1979 and headquartered in Springfield, Missouri. The practice delivers comprehensive cancer care across three clinic locations — Springfield (primary hub at 3850 S National Ave), Monett, and Lebanon (opened November 2022) — serving patients throughout the Missouri Ozarks. Core clinical services include medical oncology (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, oral chemotherapy), hematology for blood cancers and autoimmune disorders, bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) therapy added through the AON network in July 2025, and specialty infusion for chronic conditions such as Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

OHA operates an integrated, vertically-stacked care delivery model that combines in-house specialty pharmacy with 24/7 pharmacist availability and home delivery, a centralized pathology laboratory using Lean and Six Sigma process improvements, on-site infusion centers, and an FDA-cleared DigniCap scalp cooling system. Patient support layers include care coordination and navigation, financial counseling with insurance assistance, clinical trial access across Phase I-IV, telehealth via AON.Doxy.me, and the Hope for the Journey Foundation (OHA-founded) for non-medical expense relief. The practice is staffed by four board-certified medical oncologists/hematologists — Jiantao Ding MD, Brooke Gillett DO, Robert Ellis MD FACP, and Roger Holden MD PhD — plus five advanced practitioners (Donna Powers NP, Candi Jordan APRN, Christine Czachowski APRN, Madison Pendergraft APRN, Megan Brattin APRN).

OHA joined American Oncology Network (AON) in November 2019, gaining access to AON's oral oncolytic pharmacy, centralized pathology, telehealth platform, and BiTE therapy network spanning more than 40 clinics across 18 states and Washington D.C. Despite the affiliation, the practice retains physician leadership and brand identity. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service patient billing across all major insurance categories (Medicare, Medicaid, commercial), with documented community oncology cost advantage of 34-42% below hospital outpatient chemotherapy settings and patient satisfaction scores of 96.1% and above. Academic partnerships with MD Anderson, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, and Barnes-Jewish Hospital support referral continuity and standard-of-care alignment. The practice maintains referral and community-partnership channels including CanCare (peer survivor support) and the Hope for the Journey Foundation.
