Primefocus Health and Marshall Health Network Expand Collaboration to Strengthen Breast Cancer Clinic
Primefocus Health and Marshall Health Network announced an expanded collaboration to support a dedicated breast cancer clinic, aiming to improve access to expert care and outcomes for patients in the region. Building on an initial pilot program that demonstrated strong engagement and tangible results, the partnership seeks to scale remote care solutions that connect patients with specialists regardless of location.
From Pilot to Practice: Proven Results in the Initial Program
The early pilot program focused on streamlining patient intake, coordinating multidisciplinary treatment plans, and delivering timely follow-up care through a connected care platform. Key metrics from the pilot showed higher patient engagement, shorter wait times for consultations, and adherence to treatment schedules. Clinicians reported clearer communication across teams, faster decision-making, and improved patient satisfaction.
“The pilot validated that remote care can play a meaningful role in breast cancer management, particularly for patients who travel long distances for specialist input,” said a Primefocus Health spokesperson. “By leveraging our network and technology, we can extend access to expert breast oncology services without compromising quality.”
How Remote Care is Transforming Breast Cancer Management
Remote care in this collaboration centers on synchronized care plans, secure data sharing, and virtual tumor board discussions that bring surgeons, medical oncologists, radiologists, and fertility specialists together. Patients can have virtual consultations, review imaging and pathology results online, and receive coordinated follow-ups that align with their treatment timelines.
For patients living far from major academic centers, the model reduces travel burdens and allows for more consistent monitoring during treatment. The program also emphasizes patient education, enabling individuals to understand their options and actively participate in decision-making alongside their care teams.
What This Expansion Means for Patients
With the expanded collaboration, patients at and around Huntington, West Virginia, and Las Vegas will benefit from streamlined access to breast cancer expertise. The initiative supports a spectrum of services, including screening, diagnostic workups, surgical planning, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy coordination, and survivorship care. Importantly, the partners are prioritizing equitable access, ensuring underserved communities receive timely referrals and digital support where possible.
Technology That Bridges Gaps in Care
The program relies on a secure, interoperable platform that centralizes patient information, images, and notes. Telemedicine visits, remote symptom monitoring, and automated reminders help keep patients engaged and informed. The system also enables clinicians to review pathology findings, imaging, and treatment responses in a unified workspace, minimizing delays and miscommunications that can occur with fragmented care.
Looking Ahead: Scaling and Continuous Improvement
Leaders from Primefocus Health and Marshall Health Network say the collaboration will continue to evolve with a focus on outcomes data, patient-reported experience measures, and cost-effectiveness analyses. The goal is to expand the program to additional clinics and to refine workflows that reduce bottlenecks in care delivery while maintaining high standards of safety and quality.
