Overview
Optim Oncology’s goal is to create a national
network of Radiation Therapy centers that provide optimal cancer treatment
and that are committed to a positive patient experience. We are not
a venture capital firm; we are funded by physicians. We have developed a corporate development approach that is
generating a pipeline of prospects that we are evaluating as potential
partnering opportunities. Our approach is to view each radiation therapy
center individually and determine the best combination of capital
and services to optimize patient outcomes and create value for the
center. With our Optimap value assessment tool, we work with center
owners to identify opportunities for value creation; we are then positioned
to implement the appropriate strategy, capital and/or services to
realize this vision. Through our management services capabilities,
we operate and manage our portfolio centers to achieve our overall
investment objectives. Management
