NASHVILLE,
Tenn., Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Tennessee Oncology, a nationally recognized independent oncology practice that cares for nearly half of Tennessee's cancer patients across 36 locations, proudly announces the opening of its new cancer care center in Johnson City. The clinic will be staffed by
Jamal Maatouk, MD, Teresa Lord, MD, and a dedicated 30-member care team.
"Expanding access to cancer care in Johnson City enables Tennessee Oncology to deliver world-class cancer treatment to the Tri-Cities region, eliminating the need for patients to travel long distances for the same high-quality care as they would receive in Nashville or Chattanooga," said Natalie Dickson, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Tennessee Oncology. "We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Maatouk and Dr. Lord to our team and proud to broaden our reach to meet the needs of communities across Tennessee."
Dr.
Maatouk, formerly with Ballad Health Cancer Center in Kingsport, Tennessee, and Dr. Lord, who treated patients in the Tri-Cities at Ballad Health Cancer Center before relocating to Atlanta, are excited to bring their expertise to the region. Together, they will care for patients from Johnson City, Kingsport, Bristol, Elizabethton, and Jonesborough.
This new clinic opening is part of Tennessee Oncology's recent expansion, which includes partnerships with The Surgical Clinic, a multidisciplinary surgical practice with 42 surgeons and 15 advanced practice providers, and Nashville Breast Center, a premier facility dedicated to comprehensive breast health. Additionally, Tennessee Oncology has recently welcomed respected gynecological and radiation
oncologists to further enhance the practice's cancer care services.
