Kashyap Patel, MD, medical oncologist and CEO of Carolina Blood and Cancer Care Associates in Rock Hill, South Carolina, will serve a second term as COA president.

“COA succeeds because of the wonderful community of deeply engaged members and volunteers,” Patel said in a press release. “I want to thank the new and continuing COA board members for their service on behalf of the patients, practices and providers we serve. As community oncology navigates an increasingly challenging future and advocates for local, affordable cancer care, we will rely on the guidance of the COA board and members more than ever.”
