Oklahoma Cancer Specialists and Research Institute offers the region’s most comprehensive cancer care. As a community-based oncology practice with over 300 staff members, including a combined 40 physicians and allied health professionals, we focus on providing high-quality, value-based care for Oklahomans.
OCSRI’s legacy is one of innovation: pioneering clinical trials, cutting-edge technology, and breakthrough cancer care. The OCSRI practice opened its doors in 1987 as Oklahoma Oncology and Hematology dba Cancer Care Associates (CCA) with six doctors, eight chairs and two beds for chemotherapy treatments. The opening of a private practice, with on-site lab, x-ray and chemotherapy treatment was rare, especially in our region of the country. In those days, most chemotherapy was given at the hospital due to the intensity of the treatment. From its conception, our organization has been forward-thinking.
Over the years, the practice advanced and continued to pursue innovative treatment options for our growing patient community. As our physician team developed, so did our facilities and capabilities. We extended our services with multiple satellite locations and were available to patients in all parts of Tulsa and outlying areas with on-site lab, radiology, radiation treatment and chemotherapy. In 2013, three of our Tulsa branches merged to form the Tulsa Cancer Institute as part of a visionary plan to create a comprehensive cancer program in a healing environment.
In 2016, the Tulsa Cancer Institute partnered with St. John Health System to create a joint venture called Oklahoma Cancer Specialists and Research Institute. With over 90 years of experience, our combined health systems provide first-rate knowledge on cancer research and treatment. We stand as a pioneering leader, defined by decades of innovation and unparalleled expertise. We remain active in clinical research trials, strive to implement the latest technologies, and provide a continuum of care and support with our patients’ best interests in mind. Above everything, Oklahoma Cancer Specialists and Research Institute is committed to supporting our patients with advanced treatments and compassionate, personalized care to navigate their cancer journey with confidence. This is our primary purpose.
At OCSRI, you will find an ally in your fight against cancer and an unrelenting dedication to our patients, their families, and all who support them.
