GenesisCare plans to invest an additional US$300m in the U.S. over the next three years. The sizable investment is targeted towards an expansion of treatment options for patients, including installation of state-of-the-art equipment and an expanded clinical footprint.
21st Century Oncology leadership will remain in the U.S. and patients will continue to receive seamless, high quality services in their local communities.
GenesisCare Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Dan Collins, said: “We can achieve much more together than we can apart, and are proud to be bringing together 21st Century Oncology’s leading network of integrated cancer care physicians and GenesisCare’s highly experienced clinical specialists. Together, our goal is to increase patient access to high quality cancer care in communities across the U.S.”
The acquisition marks another landmark step in GenesisCare’s international expansion and 21st Century Oncology’s 30-year history.
GenesisCare traces its origins to a single clinic in Brisbane, Australia, which over 15 years has grown to become the largest provider of cancer care services in Australia and Europe. The organization enjoys a proven track record of increasing patient satisfaction, reducing treatment and wait times, and making it easier and cheaper for patients to access advanced treatment techniques in the markets it services.
As part of the combination, 21st Century Oncology’s 124 radiation oncology treatment centers and 170 clinical offices, which provide integrated cancer care services, in the U.S., will join GenesisCare’s collaborative network. In combination, this completes a global network of almost 200 radiation oncology treatment centers and 170 clinical offices.
