UUG aims to ‘transform’ urology through its focus on accessible and value-based care, as well as ongoing innovation, patient and employee satisfaction, and community engagement.

The company has integrated its affiliate practices with advanced technology systems and processes to further expand its range of ancillary services.

UUG chief medical officer Geoffrey Sklar said: “I am energised about the opportunities that this new relationship brings.

“The synergies between OneOncology and UUG are going to allow us to enhance care to our complex urologic oncology patients and provide the ideal patient experience to all our urology patients across our expanding platform.”
