Transforming Cancer Care

ORION’S 2021 IMPACT REPORT

Witnessing the evolution of patients as they are healed by our services at Orion is one of the greatest joys of the job for practitioners who compose our consortium. Similarly, observing the expansion of the organization itself is a deep point of pride for all who make up Orion. Perhaps that is because, at our core, we are an organization committed to transformation - of individual lives and of the cancer care landscape as a whole.

In this spirit, and drawing on our Mission statement, we've titled our 2021 impact report Transforming Cancer Care. In this report, we are proud to showcase several organizational milestones in 2021 which speak to the power of integrative medicine and the unstoppability of the giving community that believes so heartily in our work.
