Fort Myers, Fla., June 22, 2021 – American Oncology Network, LLC (AON) in-house specialty pharmacy is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed reaccreditation through Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) for specialty pharmacy services.

Accreditation is a process through which healthcare organizations demonstrate compliance with national standards. Accreditation by ACHC reflects an organization’s dedication and commitment to meeting standards that facilitate a higher level of performance and patient care.

The AON team of pharmacists, technicians and support staff, based in Fort Myers, Fla., work around-the-clock to ensure quality and safety and effective treatment outcomes for the patients in AON’s growing network of community-based oncology practices across 17 states.  With ready access to 99 percent of all available oral oncolytics, they can quickly dispense medications and supplies directly to patients’ homes.
