HOPE & HEALING CANCER SERVICES LLC

What HOPE & HEALING CANCER SERVICES LLC does

Hope & Healing Cancer Services LLC is an independent community-based hematology and oncology practice founded by Dr. Srilata Gundala in Illinois, operating clinic locations in Hinsdale (headquarters), Lombard, and New Lenox, with a fourth site scheduled to open in Morris on July 22, 2026. The practice provides comprehensive cancer care across tumor types, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, blood disorder (hematology) care, and integrative therapies such as acupuncture, massage, and mindfulness. It also functions as a Principal Investigator site for phase II, III, and IV clinical trials across tumor types, giving patients access to experimental treatments typically associated with larger academic centers, and offers telemedicine for follow-up consultations.

The clinical model is differentiated by an emphasis on personalized, lower-volume care in a community setting with shorter wait times, semi-private infusion rooms, and direct physician accessibility (Dr. Gundala reportedly provides a personal phone number for emergencies). The practice complements its core oncology services with formal collaboration with University of Chicago Hospitals for complex cases, ancillary support partnerships such as Wellness House, and online appointment booking through the Leap Health platform. Patients are acquired via physician referrals, self-referrals driven by online search and reviews, second-opinion requests, and word-of-mouth, with marketing centered on patient story testimonials and educational blog content.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service medical care billed to insurance (including Medicare and private plans) and clinical trial activity, with no disclosed subscription or membership pricing. The practice is privately held as an LLC with no venture capital or institutional ownership, and is operationally dependent on founder/principal Dr. Gundala, supplemented by Dr. Ellen Gustafson and a team of approximately 11 staff across nursing, medical assistants, reception, and research management functions. Castle Connolly Top Doctor recognition and documented patient outcomes (e.g., 80% tumor reduction in a lung cancer case, PCR scores dropping from 76% to 0.7% in a CML case) provide the primary reputation assets driving organic patient acquisition.

Scale indicators3 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• US Oncology Network: The US Oncology Network, backed by McKesson, is a national alliance of more than 1,400 independent oncologists. It is directly comparable to Hope & Healing as a community-based oncology delivery model, but operates at vastly greater scale and offers centralized clinical trials, technology, and purchasing power that independent practices like Hope & Healing cannot match.
• City of Hope (formerly Cancer Treatment Centers of America): City of Hope operates a national network of community oncology locations (formerly CTCA) providing chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and clinical trials. It is comparable to Hope & Healing as a multi-site community cancer care provider, but with substantially larger geographic reach and brand recognition.
• OneOncology: OneOncology is a partnership platform for independent community oncology practices, providing capital, technology, and operational support. It is comparable to Hope & Healing as an independent oncology platform model, but with national scale and private equity backing that enables rapid site additions and trial enrollment that Hope & Healing cannot replicate without similar resources.

Regional players

• Compass Oncology: Compass Oncology is an independent community oncology practice serving the Portland, Oregon metro area with multiple clinic sites, infusion services, and clinical trials. It is directly comparable to Hope & Healing's multi-site suburban community oncology model, but operates on the West Coast rather than in Illinois.
• Edward-Elmhurst Health Cancer Center: Edward-Elmhurst Health operates cancer centers in the western Chicago suburbs, directly overlapping Hope & Healing's Hinsdale/New Lenox service area. It is comparable as a suburban Illinois oncology provider, but operates within a hospital system rather than as an independent practice.
• Carle Health Cancer Institute: Carle Health is a Central Illinois-based health system with a dedicated cancer institute serving the same state where Hope & Healing operates. It is comparable as an Illinois-based oncology provider, but as a hospital-integrated program rather than an independent community practice.

Emerging players

• Alliance Cancer Care: Alliance Cancer Care is an independent community oncology group providing multi-specialty cancer care with clinical trial access. It is comparable to Hope & Healing as a community oncology practice with a trials offering, but operates in different regional markets and at a slightly different stage of scale.

Direct peers

• Florida Cancer Specialists & Research Institute: Florida Cancer Specialists is one of the largest independent community oncology and hematology practices in the U.S., with extensive clinical trial participation. It mirrors Hope & Healing's model of independent, multi-site community oncology with trial access, but operates at much larger scale across Florida.
• American Oncology Network: American Oncology Network (AON) is a rapidly growing alliance of independent community oncology practices with its own clinical trial program. It is directly comparable to Hope & Healing as a community-based oncology delivery and trials platform, but operates as a multi-state network with private equity backing.
• Texas Oncology: Texas Oncology is a large independent community oncology practice affiliated with the US Oncology Network, offering chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and clinical trials across Texas. It is directly comparable to Hope & Healing as a multi-site community oncology practice with PI-led trials, but at significantly greater scale.
