“The investment in OneOncology will allow AmerisourceBergen to further deepen our relationships with community oncologists and expand on our solutions in specialty,” said Steven H. Collis, Chairman, President & Chief Executive Officer of AmerisourceBergen. “As a platform built by and for community oncologists, OneOncology understands the operational complexities oncologists face and works to simplify the provider experience to drive improved patient outcomes. We are excited to work closely with OneOncology’s team and our partners at TPG, who have deep experience and a track record of success in supporting high-quality healthcare companies. Our complementary skill sets and focus on operational excellence and innovation uniquely position us to continue to partner and support OneOncology’s network. We look forward to discussing the transaction in greater detail on our earnings call on May 2, when we will also discuss the continued strength of our business.”

We wish Dr. Patton and the OneOncology team continued success in their next phase of growth.”
