Board-certified medical oncologist Dr. Ahmad Fora joins the care team and is accepting new patients.

OLYMPIA, Wash., July 10, 2023 – Vista Oncology, a partner practice of American Oncology Network, LLC (AON), announced the expansion of the care team with a new physician, Ahmad Fora, MD. Dr. Fora is a Board-certified medical oncologist and hematologist, and he is now accepting patients.

Dr. Fora has been caring for cancer patients for more than 10 years and is experienced in treating various cancer types. He received his medical degree from the Jordan University of Science and Technology in Irbid, Jordan. He completed an internal medicine residency at the University of Buffalo in Buffalo, New York, and an oncology-hematology fellowship at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo.

“I have been very impressed with the team at Vista Oncology and their holistic and patient-first care approach,” said Dr. Fora. “The practice of oncology is much more than strictly treating the tumor. It involves establishing a shared decision-making environment where personalized evidence-based care can occur that not only welcomes but incorporates the patient’s values and care preferences. As a physician, I approach patient care with the mindset of treating patients as I would like to be treated. I am eager to work alongside my fellow physicians and care team at the practice and contribute to the community oncology presence.”

“We are elated to welcome Dr. Fora to the practice,” said Dr. Joseph Ye, medical oncologist at Vista Oncology. “Our patients will greatly benefit from his experience and expertise. Our goal has always been to provide continuous care and treatment options for cancer patients in a community setting. With Dr. Fora joining our team of physicians, we will be able to keep our promise and deliver the quality of care our patients deserve.”

Vista Oncology joined AON in late 2019. As a partner practice of AON, the practice receives a wide variety of resources and support to ensure patient care remains the top priority. Such resources and support include the in-house specialty pharmacy and home delivery of oral oncolytic medications, centralized laboratory and pathology, a dedicated care management team and patient financial counseling services.

“AON’s mission is to ensure the viability of community oncology and ensuring local access to cancer care and treatments remains available to all patients, no matter where they live,” said Dr. Stephen “Fred” Divers, chief medical officer at AON. “Without physicians who are dedicated to practicing in a community setting, most Americans would have to travel long distances for their appointments and care. We are excited to welcome Dr. Fora to the network and look forward to supporting him and Vista Oncology.”
