History

Over time Ironwood has grown throughout metro Phoenix by merging with other patient-centered, high-quality cancer care providers and oncology practices. Notable mergers included Desert Oncology the practice of Dr. Jon Paul Rubach, and Dr. Marvin Chassin, and Southwest Oncology founded by Dr. Jeffrey Issacs. These strategic mergers have allowed Ironwood to offer Academic Cancer Care in a Community Setting. Today Ironwood has grown to 15 locations including 5 comprehensive cancer centers, a multi-specialty oncology network of over 70 providers, a robust Integrative Services program, a dedicated research department, and a growing Women's oncology program.
