Community oncology practice Florida Oncology and Hematology, a partner practice of American Oncology Network (AON) (OTCQX: AONC), is pleased to announce patients now have an additional choice for medical oncology services in Lee County due to its continued expansion in Florida with the opening of its new location in Fort Myers and the addition of Board-certified medical oncologist-hematologist Dr. Magali Van den Bergh who has been practicing in Southwest Florida for nearly 10 years. The addition of this clinic — located at 14543 Global Parkway, Suite 110 — offers Fort Myers-area patients a new opportunity to choose a community oncology care practice that best suits their unique needs.
