## What Atlas Oncology Does

Atlas Oncology Partners embeds interdisciplinary care teams directly into community oncology practices. Rather than sending cancer patients to distant academic medical centers, Atlas brings comprehensive, coordinated cancer care to the communities where patients live.

**The model:**
- Atlas builds **onsite and virtual care teams** alongside existing oncology practices
- Teams include patient navigators, psychosocial support, care coordinators, and clinical specialists
- Atlas assumes **full medical cost risk** — their incentive is better outcomes, not more procedures

- **Care coordination** — proactive scheduling, follow-up, and communication across all your providers
- **Psychosocial support** — counseling, social work, and emotional support for patients and families
- **Expanded access** — both in-person and virtual clinical visits to reduce travel burden
