Overview

Tennessee Oncology runs a large network of community-based cancer care with a strong clinical-trial program. It delivers cancer treatment at local clinics, including on-site chemotherapy, and uses molecular diagnostics to tailor therapies to each patient’s cancer. The organization supports patients with its in-house Park Pharmacy, which stocks oncology and hematology medications and handles insurance, prior authorizations, co-pays, and 24/7 pharmacist access. It differentiates itself by combining extensive community-based care with a sizable research network and a partnership with OneOncology, enabling broad access to trials and advanced care at convenient locations. The goal is to provide high-quality cancer care and access to clinical research close to patients’ homes.

Tennessee Oncology Breaks Ground on State-of-the-Art Medical Center in Tullahoma

Tennessee Oncology breaks ground on state-of-the-art Medical Center in Tullahoma. Tennessee Oncology recently broke ground a new state-of-the-art medical center in Tullahoma. Located on a three-acre campus, the 33,000 square foot center will bring together medical oncology, radiation oncology, and imaging services - offering patients comprehensive, coordinated cancer care in one location, close to home. "The official groundbreaking of the Tullahoma Medical Center is more than the start of construction - it is a continuation of a mission, a vision, and a legacy of compassionate care for the Tullahoma community," said Natalie Dickson, MD, President and CEO of Tennessee Oncology. "This new facility represents a bold step forward for Tullahoma. Together, with Dr. Ryan Carr, Dr. Nnamdi Eze, Dr. John Phillips, Dr. Brian Schlick, and Dr. Mark Sittig, we are laying the foundation for something that will make a lasting impact. This center will not only provide critical care to patients, but it will also stand as a symbol of hope, healing, and the enduring strength of this community." The Tullahoma Medical Center is a continuation of the incredible legacy of Dr. Mainuddin Ahmed and Dr. Adil Mohyuddin, whose commitment to oncology care in the Tullahoma region laid the foundation for the care Tnoncology provide patients today. This new medical center represents the heart of its mission at Tennessee Oncology - bringing world-class cancer care closer to the communities that need it most. Its investment in the Tullahoma Medical Center reflects its commitment to expanding access, supporting local patients, and delivering compassionate care where it matters. Tennessee Oncology extends a sincere thank-you to Jason Quick, the Tullahoma City Administrator, and Kathryn Wiseman of the Tullahoma Area Chamber of Commerce. Their dedication to the community and support of this project have been instrumental.
