Utah Cancer Specialists Partners with Survivor Healthcare for Enhanced Patient Support

In a significant development for cancer care in Utah, Survivor Healthcare has formed a strategic partnership with Utah Cancer Specialists (UCS), a leading oncology and hematology practice in the state. Announced on January 9, 2025, this collaboration is set to enhance patient care by integrating primary supportive services with cancer treatment from the moment patients receive their diagnosis. The partnership aims to address the multifaceted health challenges faced by cancer patients, which often include anxiety, fatigue, chronic pain, and cognitive decline. By leveraging a multidisciplinary team of specialists, UCS will now be able to provide comprehensive primary care that complements cancer treatment and focuses on improving the overall well-being of patients. Randy Erickson, CEO of Utah Cancer Specialists, emphasized the importance of this collaboration, stating, “This partnership is an important new step in our efforts to provide the highest quality of care to our patients. By connecting our patients with Survivor Healthcare's clinicians, we can ensure that they not only receive the best cancer care but also the essential primary care they need to maintain their quality of life throughout their treatment and recovery.” One of the key features of this partnership is Survivor Healthcare’s innovative telehealth platform, which facilitates access to care from the comfort of patients’ homes. This approach minimizes the need for frequent in-person visits, thereby making it easier for patients to stay connected with their healthcare providers throughout their treatment journey. The initiative not only promises to enhance patient convenience but also aims to improve health outcomes while reducing unnecessary medical expenditures. Survivor Healthcare has gained national recognition for its advanced use of electronic Patient Reported Outcomes (ePROs) data, which allows for real-time monitoring of patients' physical and emotional health. This data-driven methodology enables clinicians to tailor treatments more effectively based on individual patient needs and to adjust care as circumstances evolve during treatment. George Willock, CEO of Survivor Healthcare, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration, noting, “We are honored to partner with Utah Cancer Specialists to provide patients with a seamless and comprehensive care experience. Cancer care is not just about treatment — it’s about supporting the whole patient. Our multi-disciplinary care model ensures that each patient's emotional, physical, and social needs are met, which in turn improves their overall quality of life.” As Utah Cancer Specialists continues to lead the fight against cancer for over three decades, this partnership with Survivor Healthcare marks a progressive step towards a more holistic approach to cancer care. With services spanning from Ogden to Provo and access to innovative clinical trials, UCS remains dedicated to elevating the patient experience through compassionate, patient-centered care. This collaboration not only reflects a commitment to improving health outcomes for those battling cancer but also acknowledges the vital role that emotional and physical support plays in recovery. As the landscape of cancer care evolves, partnerships like this one are crucial in ensuring that patients receive comprehensive, continuous support tailored to their unique needs.
