THE WOODLANDS, Texas, May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- US Oncology, Inc., the nation's leading integrated oncology company, today announced the launch of its new brand campaign, UNITED, to tell cancer patients and referring physicians about the advantages of receiving cancer care through a practice affiliated with the United Network of US Oncology. These advantages may include treatment through refined evidence-based medicine guidelines, access to new therapies through innovative clinical trials, and multi-disciplined integrated cancer care that combines radiation and chemotherapy, often under one roof, in local communities where patients live and work.
The UNITED campaign is supported by robust integrated internet advertising, spots on NPR radio, and ad placements in major media outlets such as the New York Times, USA Today, Time magazine, US News & World Report and the Wall Street Journal. Additional ads will be placed in clinical journals that target oncologists and referring physicians, including the Journal of American Medical Association, Internal Medicine News, New England Journal of Medicine –Cancer, Hematology Oncology News and Issues (HONI), Oncology Times, Oncology Issues and Oncology & Biotech News, to name a few. The campaign was created by US Oncology with the enlisted help of HC&B Healthcare Communications out of Austin, Texas.
UNITED was designed to complement the company's United in Healing campaign which is offered in partnership with local affiliated oncology practices. United in Healing connects community-based cancer care practices to the United Network of US Oncology through ads and promotional materials that help the local practice leverage the US Oncology national branding campaign.
"This national ad campaign is designed to highlight the incredible capabilities of a network of 1,300 oncologists, united as one, to collaborate and share best practices that enhance patient care and advance the quality and effectiveness of cancer care in America," says Grant Bogle, executive vice president of Strategy & Emerging Business at US Oncology.
