Despite the recent cost-containment efforts, MD Anderson expanded its reach during 2016. In August it announced that it had formed a partnership deal with Scripps Health to form the Scripps MD Anderson Cancer Center in San Diego, California, as HCB News reported at the time.

Through the program, patients have access to MD Anderson's treatment protocols, standards of care, clinical trials and translational research.

"Each patient diagnosed with cancer will have the advantage of not only great care from a Scripps physician, but the added benefit of MD Anderson specialists and subspecialists who will be working closely with the Scripps MD Anderson team, sharing decades of subspecialized expertise," Dr. Margaret Row, vice president of clinical operations at MD Anderson's Cancer Network, noted at the time.
