Canopy and Willamette Valley Cancer Institute and Research Center Announce Partnership to Improve Care Between Visits

NEW YORK, Nov. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Canopy, the leader in Enterprise AI for oncology, today announced a partnership with Willamette Valley Cancer Institute and Research Center (WVCI), a leader in advanced cancer treatments for over 25 years, to improve care between visits for both patients and staff.

“We continuously evaluate technology solutions to help us provide better care for our patients while lowering the administrative burden for our staff,” said Casey Chiasson, MBA, Executive Director of Willamette Valley Cancer Institute and Research Center. “With Canopy, we’re leveraging best-in-class AI across patient services to achieve this, particularly through remote therapeutic monitoring.”

Canopy helps practices manage the growing complexity of cancer care by providing a single Enterprise AI platform across patient services: triage, call center, referrals, and pharmacy. By embedding AI and automation into existing workflows, Canopy enables faster issue resolution, reduces manual work, and helps practices capture reimbursement to sustain between-visit care through Principal & Chronic Care Management (PCM/CCM), Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM), and more.

“WVCI has built a strong reputation as a leader in research and innovation,” said Lavi Kwiatkowsky, Founder and CEO of Canopy. “We’re proud to advance their mission through technology that enhances efficiency, reduces administrative burden, and delivers innovative solutions such as remote therapeutic monitoring.”

Presentations highlighting the potential impact of Canopy’s platform on oncology patient experience in real-world settings have demonstrated:

• 37.5% reduction in treatment discontinuation at three months¹
• 22% – 45% improvement in treatment persistence at three months²
• 22% reduction in ER visits and hospitalizations per 100 patient months³
• 88% sustained patient engagement at six months⁴
• Improved early detection of toxicities with bispecific antibody therapies⁵

Care teams using Canopy have also seen:

• 15-minute average resolution time for patient symptom reports⁶
• 93% faster resolution of all patient requests compared to prior workflows⁶

Canopy is contracted with 10% of oncology providers in the U.S. and rapidly growing.
