The initiative aims to bring clinically guided, on-demand oncology support into patient homes, focusing on remote monitoring, symptom management, and care continuity.
US-based MedStar Health has launched a pilot collaboration with Reimagine Care to expand access to cancer care services in Maryland and Washington, D.C.
The initiative aims to bring clinically guided, on-demand oncology support into patient homes, focusing on remote monitoring, symptom management, and care continuity.
The partnership will also integrate Reimagine Care’s 24/7 cancer care platform into MedStar Health’s existing oncology services, enabling patients to receive structured care outside clinical settings.
“Partnering with MedStar Health represents an opportunity to enhance cancer care in Maryland and Washington, D.C. fundamentally,” said Dan Nardi, CEO of Reimagine Care. “By integrating our on-demand oncology care platform into MedStar’s robust oncology care model, we can help improve patient outcomes, reduce the burden on clinics, address clinical care gaps, and provide a seamless patient experience.”
The pilot aims to address ongoing healthcare gaps, including emergency department visits and unplanned hospitalizations among cancer patients. Reimagine Care’s technology-enabled model includes remote patient monitoring and on-demand symptom response.
According to both partners, the service is designed to ease access for patients navigating complex treatments or facing logistical challenges in reaching healthcare facilities.
"We are pleased to incorporate Reimagine Care into our navigation services for cancer patients. We hope this pilot project successfully meets our goals to ensure patients have the most fluid access and continuity of care and opens the door to explore opportunities for future collaboration," said Dr. Mahsa Mohebtash, Medical Director of MedStar Health Community Oncology.
The initiative is also positioned in light of projections from the American Cancer Society’s 2025 report, which estimates over two million new cancer cases and 600,000 deaths in the U.S. The report notes disparities among underserved populations, many of whom encounter difficulty attending traditional appointments due to transportation and financial constraints.
With a regional network of ten hospitals and hundreds of outpatient sites, MedStar Health plans to use this pilot as a test case for scalable home-based oncology models. Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, a National Cancer Institute-designated center within MedStar’s network, continues to deliver structured cancer care across the region.
The pilot will be monitored for outcomes related to clinical performance, patient satisfaction, and cost reduction, aligning with MedStar’s broader value-based care goals.
