Contra Costa Oncology recently brought together physicians from across the region at Walnut Creek On Ice, where colleagues connected, laced up their skates, and spent time together beyond the clinical setting. ✨ ⛸️

The gathering gave CCO providers and area doctors the chance to strengthen relationships that support coordinated, high-quality patient care—both on and off the ice. Creating opportunities to come together reflects CCO’s commitment to collaboration within the local medical community that ultimately leads to the best in patient care.

💙 Giving back is part of the tradition.

CCO is proud to support a season-long charitable initiative at Walnut Creek on Ice. For every ticket sold this season, a donation will be made to the Food Bank of Contra Costa & Solano, extending the event’s impact beyond the rink and into the community. CCO has done this for more than a decade and is proud to support the community once again for Walnut Creek on Ice’s 20th season.
