Wisconsin Association of Hematology and Oncology (WAHO)

Founded in 1991, the Wisconsin Association of Hematology and Oncology (WAHO) is the largest oncology professional organization in the state. WAHO comprises a powerful community of oncologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists, and other multidisciplinary care providers involved in the treatment of patients with cancer.

WAHO is the Wisconsin Association of Hematology and Oncology. We are the state society for both ASH and ASCO for the Wisconsin chapters. WAHO is also a Chapter Member of the Association of Community Cancer Centers (ACCC), who helps us be as effective as possible as a state society. The main mission for the organization is to provide educational opportunities for our members, and to represent patients and providers at the legislative table on both the state and federal levels.

Mission:
• Promote the highest professional standards of oncology and hematology in Wisconsin;
• Provide oncologists and hematologists a forum for exchanging ideas, data, and knowledge necessary to provide the most up-to-date care available;
• Support the search for more effective treatments by enrolling patients in well-designed clinical trials;
• Assist oncologists and hematologists in providing their patients the best treatment available, including treatments available only on clinical trials; and
• Serve as a resource to insurers in the definition of standards of care for oncology and hematology.
