The practice is supported by a group of medical and radiation oncologists who are focused on building a regional cancer center with the help of pulmonary and gastroenterology specialists. The outpatient practice will be located with two busy cardiac surgeons at the same institution, and further supported by two general thoracic surgeons in Tacoma Washington. Inpatient care is supported by a group of employed advanced practice providers that work both in the operating room and manage patients on the floor.
