More and more community cancer care centers are shifting the model of delivery. In two years, 423 individual clinic treatment sites have closed, 658 oncology practices have been acquired by hospital systems, and 359 practices have struggled financially. These statistics represent an 11.3% increase in the number of community cancer clinic closings and an 8% increase in the number of facility consolidations into hospital settings. Overall, since 2008, 13.8 practices per month have been affected by closings, hospital acquisitions, and corporate mergers.
