Compassionate and veteran oncology center receives accolade from Hematology & Oncology News & Issues Magazine

LOS ANGELES, CA, May 15, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Oncology Institute Of Hope and Innovation, the leader in providing state-of-the-art medical care and comprehensive cancer treatment was recently awarded the HOPE Award for Practice Excellence in Patient Care from Hematology & Oncology News & Issues Magazine. Dr. Richy Agajanian commented, "Our involvement is what set's us apart. The experience of cancer can be a scary and stressful one, so we try to make the patient experience as stress-free as possible".

Dr. Richy Agajanian began his practice with a small group of oncologists and soon saw the potential of branching out on his own. In August of 2007 he founded the Agajanian Institute of Oncology and Hematology and as the practice grew, he made a conscious decision to recruit oncologists/ hematologists displaying the same compassion and dedication as he did for his patients. His vision grew into the Oncology Institute of Hope and Innovation (OIHI). Currently, the Institute has five locations in southern California with six board certified oncologists in addition to five oncology-certified nurse practitioners.

Converting to a electronic medical records system was also acknowledged, as The Oncology Institute of Hope and Innovation handles patients records with greater accuracy, with no risk of the record being damaged or misplaced.
