OneOncology, the national platform for independent community oncology practices, today announced that Natalie Dickson, MD, President and Chief Medical Officer for Tennessee Oncology, and Curtis Warfield, President and Chief Executive Officer of Windham Advisors, private equity and strategic advisory firm, have joined the Board of Managers. Mr. Warfield will also chair OneOncology's Audit and Compliance Committees.

"Dr. Natalie Dickson and Curtis Warfield each bring significant experience that will enhance our Board," said David Chernow, Chairman of OneOncology's Board of Managers. "Dr. Dickson is an incredible physician leader, and Curtis Warfield has a wealth of board, technology, and payer experience in healthcare. I'm looking forward to working with both of them to enhance the delivery of cancer care and benefit the practice partners we serve."     

Dr. Dickson is President and Chief Medical Officer for Tennessee Oncology, where she guides process improvement, regulatory affairs, and safety initiatives. She is also skilled in stakeholder management, maintaining a cooperative working relationship along the healthcare continuum with staff, physicians, hospitals, and payers. Her passion for improving the delivery of care for patients drives her focus on physician-led collaboration with technology vendors, pharmaceutical innovators, and other organizations. 

As Tennessee Oncology leads in the implementation of alternative payment models, Dr. Dickson is focused on prioritizing quality initiatives, reducing unnecessary variation, and analyzing and sharing performance metrics. Dr. Dickson also has maintained an active hematology-oncology practice for the past 22 years.
