UK King's Daughters Regional Hospital is adding multiple hematology/oncology physicians to its established cancer center in Ashland, Kentucky. The program is actively recruiting to meet growing patient demand, with plans to add three additional Hem/Onc providers across the near term. This is a hospital-employed, outpatient-focused position within a comprehensive cancer center that has served Eastern Kentucky for more than 80 years and is affiliated with the Markey Cancer Research Network at the University of Kentucky.
The practice model is built for quality and volume. Disease-specific focus days, a 36-chair infusion center open seven days a week, and a multidisciplinary team that includes pharmacists, dietitians, and social workers create a clinical environment where physicians can focus on direct patient care.
