ANGOLA, Ind., March 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Oncology Network (AON) partner practice Fort Wayne Medical Oncology and Hematology (FWMOH), a trusted provider of cancer care in northeastern Indiana since 1977, today announced an expansion of services in partnership with Cameron Health to increase access to high-quality, community-based cancer care in Angola.
Cancer rates continue to rise in Angola and across Steuben County, creating a growing need for expanded local oncology services. This expansion builds on a longstanding relationship between FWMOH and Cameron Health, which began in 2001, and reflects a shared commitment to meeting the increasing demand for comprehensive cancer care close to home.
Through this collaboration, FWMOH is expanding both the scope of services and days of service offered at Cameron Health, providing patients with greater access to medical oncology, hematology, infusion therapy, and supportive services, including palliative care. These services are designed to support patients throughout every stage of their cancer journey, with a focus on symptom management, quality of life, and personalized treatment planning.
As part of the expansion, the Regional Cancer Care Center of Angola on the Cameron Health campus has undergone a full interior renovation to better serve patients and staff. Enhancements include an expanded lobby, a dedicated registration and customer service area, five new exam rooms, a private physician office, and 12 infusion bays supported by a dedicated nurses’ station, nourishment area, and medication preparation space. The opposite side of the building was also renovated, providing additional updates to the care space further supporting the recent installation of a new linear accelerator. This expansion reflects the growth of care and services provided within the NICC partnership between FWMOH, ROA, Cameron Health and Parkview Health, allowing for comprehensive cancer care services to live within one location next to Cameron Hospital.
“This expansion reflects our commitment to meeting the growing need for cancer care in Angola and the surrounding communities,” said Dr. Praveen Kollipara, Board-certified medical oncologist and president of FWMOH. “By expanding services and increasing our days on site at Cameron Health, we are ensuring patients have greater access to comprehensive oncology care, including palliative care, without having to travel far from home.”
“At Fort Wayne Medical Oncology and Hematology, our focus has always been on caring for the whole person—not just the disease,” said Dr. Matthew Carr, a Board-certified medical oncologist at FWMOH. “This expansion allows us to bring more of our services directly to the community, helping patients receive timely, personalized care while remaining close to their support systems.”
“We are proud to continue and strengthen our long-standing partnership with Fort Wayne Medical Oncology and Hematology,” said Angie Logan, president and CEO, Cameron Health. “As cancer diagnoses increase in our region, this expansion helps ensure our community has access to high-quality, coordinated cancer care right here in Angola.”
