The Oncology/Hematology Care, Inc. represents a large adult oncology practice group covering the Greater Cincinnati Area, parts of Northern Kentucky and Southeast Indiana. This oncology practice provides the largest group of adult oncology clinical service support in this area with patient care provided at most of the adult community hospitals in this area including The Christ Hospital, The Jewish Hospital, University Hospital, and other large adult care providers in the Greater Cincinnati Area. As much of the care provided by this clinical practice group requires extensive clinical laboratory support, including both standard, routine laboratory testing as well as complex esoteric testing. During the past year, OHC has negotiated a contract with CCHMC to provide all the laboratory testing to support this large, adult oncology practice group. This contractual arrangement includes the laboratories of the Division of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, Human Genetics, and the Division Hematology/Oncology. The combined laboratory services at CCHMC will provide full and comprehensive lab testing to this large practice group through a laboratory operation that has been customized to meet the unique needs for this adult oncology patient care service. This represents a new opportunity for the combined laboratory services here at CCHMC to fill a unique niche in the laboratory market here in the Greater Cincinnati Area. It is projected that more than 150,000 clinical laboratory tests will be performed per year for this practice group and the projected gross revenues over a five year period is approximately 98 million dollars. CCHMC welcomes the opportunity to partner with this large clinical care group in recognition of its strong reputation to provide comprehensive, high-quality laboratory services to the community.
