Eastern Connecticut Hematology & Oncology

Eastern Connecticut Hematology & Oncology (ECHO) is an independent community hematology and oncology practice based in Norwich, Connecticut, providing diagnosis, treatment, infusion, supportive care, genetic testing, and access to clinical trials for adult cancer and blood-disorder patients across Eastern Connecticut and nearby Rhode Island. The organization describes itself as a private hematology/oncology practice and emphasizes local, personalized, cost-efficient care outside of larger hospital systems. ECHO offers comprehensive cancer care services, including research participation through cooperative group and industry-sponsored trials, and highlights a long-standing presence in the region of more than 30 years. The practice is affiliated with the ECHO Cancer Foundation, a separate nonprofit that provides supportive services for patients and caregivers. Overall, ECHO is a commercial-stage healthcare delivery organization rather than a drug-development biotech company.
