Read the article below to learn how community care offers a more cost-effective approach.

The Community Oncology Alliance (COA) supports the release of a new peer-reviewed study published in The American Journal of Public Health demonstrating that independent community oncology practices significantly reduce the financial toxicity experienced by cancer patients compared to hospital out...

The ECHO Foundation is a 501c(3) non-profit organization connected with Eastern Connecticut Hematology and Oncology. The foundation is dedicated to providing support services, guidance, and education to cancer patients, their families, and their caregivers.

Each year, the staff at ECHO, and the ECHO foundation provide Thanksgiving and Holiday baskets to patients and families who may be experiencing food insecurity during this holiday season.

This year, the need is even greater. Many of our patients and caregivers face financial hardship due to their cancer diagnosis, often unable to work or at risk of losing essential benefits that they are facing as of this Saturday.

We're asking for your support to help us continue this meaningful tradition. 100% of donations go directly toward food and gift baskets for patients and their children.

Join us in spreading holiday cheer and hope this season!!

Leading the Way in Cancer Care Since 1985

In 1985, Dr. Dennis Slater moved from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York to Norwich, Connecticut. This was in response to the recruitment by The William W. Backus Hospital for a medical oncologist.

He began a private practice with the objective of developing a program that would allow patients to receive state-of-the-art cancer treatment within the comfort and convenience of their own community.

Over time, Eastern Connecticut Hematology and Oncology grew in size and scope and became the predominant private practice in the area. We continue to bring in talented physicians who come from the leading healthcare institutions across the county. Our number of patients and services has dramatically increased. But, our focus on providing exceptional cancer care in a location close to home has remained consistent.
