Community Oncology TV
Community Oncology TV is a free national waiting room network brought to you by the Community Oncology Alliance (COA) and PatientPoint, a leading national waiting room TV vendor. The network features light, lively, and entertaining content that is patient-friendly and engaging, while also increasing understanding of issues that impact community oncology.
We tell the story of the people, places, and faces in community oncology that are the backbone of our nation’s cancer care system, and integrate items like intake forms, satisfaction surveys, and promotions of your practice’s features to help patients more easily access care. In doing so, we educate, engage, and empower patients nationwide.
Community Oncology TV practices play a mix of educational content tailored specifically for oncology patients and practices. In addition to the news, pop culture, weather, and sports programming that patients love, COA has created short educational segments on the big issues that impact their cancer care both locally and nationally.
Practices can also customize the Community Oncology TV screens to display practice messages such as event announcements, appointment reminders, notifications about new programs or services, and more. All of this is included free of charge to practices.
