Color Health, a virtual oncologist-led cancer clinic, has partnered with 10 NCI-designated cancer centers — including Memorial Sloan Kettering and Stanford Medicine — to cut the time between diagnosis and treatment. The collaborations streamline intake, coordinate clinical workups, and target first appointments within seven days. The goal: fewer delays, less duplicate testing, and better outcomes for cancer patients.
Color Health, a virtual oncologist-led cancer clinic, has announced formal clinical collaborations with 10 National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer centers, including City of Hope-Los Angeles, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Moffitt Cancer Center, Mount Sinai, Stanford Medicine, UC Davis, and UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center. The partnerships are designed to eliminate bottlenecks between diagnosis and treatment — a critical window where delays can directly affect survival.
Through the collaborations, Color coordinates clinical workups, medical record reviews, insurance verification, and authorization processes tailored to each center's specifications. Patients are matched with the right care team, and first appointments are targeted within seven days of an oncology referral. Color also provides wraparound support — including nutrition, mental health, palliative, and survivorship care — and helps identify clinical trial candidates.
By the Numbers:
Why it matters: Speed is everything in cancer care, and fragmented systems often slow patients down at the worst possible time. By embedding coordination directly into top-tier cancer centers, Color is tackling one of oncology's most persistent pain points — and employers footing the bill are taking notice.
