Founded in 2009 through the unification of the Indiana Medical Oncology Society (IMOS) and the Hoosier Oncology Office Practice Society (HOOPS), the Indiana Oncology Society (IOS) is the largest oncology professional organization in the state. IOS comprises a powerful community of oncologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, and other multidisciplinary care providers involved in the treatment of patients with cancer.
To carry out their mission, they strive to:
• Promote the highest professional standards of oncology in Indiana;
• Study, research, and exchange information, experiences, and ideas leading to improvement in oncology;
• Identify and improve oncology practice issues that adversely affect patient access to cancer care;
• Act as a patient advocate to assure that patients have access to the best available care; and
• Support and encourage clinical research against cancer.
Their goals are to:
• Advocate on state and federal legislative issues impacting patient access to care;
• Provide an education forum for our members on the current technologies and medical best practices in cancer care delivery; and
• Communicate changes and updates in oncology practice to our members and the broader community.
