The Founding
The partnership came about over dinner with Dr. Allen Brady who had been tasked by Harris Methodist to begin a cancer program for the hospital. After a few more meetings, the four physicians decided to combine practices as Oncology Hematology Consultants, PA.
This collaboration was the first of its kind in North Texas because the physicians were a mix of MDs and DOs. This was an opportunity to create a new model of medical practice, a community-academic partnership that would raise standards of care.
The Early Years
They soon moved into a small office in the hospital. Starting with no money, Dr. Jordan took on the dual role of doctor and chief administrator. Dr. Ross kept the books on his home computer. Eventually, they hired a bookkeeper and few employees.
By 1995 the practice had expanded to three more locations. Each Tuesday the partners would invite other healthcare workers in the community to discuss a case in a “tumor board” style meeting.
During the early ’90s the Moncrief Cancer Center was built and endowed a grant from MD Anderson. Oncology / Hematology physicians were asked to join and moved their office there for around 4 years.
A new name came with the move, Texas Cancer Care.
Building a Home
As the practice continued to grow, it was decided that another name change was in order to The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. With the name change, it was decided that the practice needed a place to call home permanently.
The search began for land and property that we could build a premiere community cancer center. In the early 2000s we found the perfect location in the heart of Fort Worth’s Medical District, 800 W. Magnolia Ave.
We gathered a group of patients and asked them what they would like to see in a cancer center. Things we didn’t think of like, mirrors in exam rooms to adjust their wigs to no phone ringing in the lobby, to the piano playing as you walked in. T
These were all things that we use to create the “premiere” cancer center in the region.
Ground Breaking
Doctors, their families, members of the press, and the community gathered together to begin this exciting new chapter for The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders.
Grand Opening
A year later The Center’s main campus opened to patients with an incredible Grand Opening Celebration. We invited former First Lady Barbara Bush to give the keynote address. She shared the story of her daughter, Robin, that she lost to leukemia at the age of three.
It was a fantastic day for The Center to be surrounded and supported by the community that helped build this new home.
Latest News, Events & Insights
When most people hear the word cancer, they picture urgency. A diagnosis, a treatment plan, and a race to get ahead of it. For many cancers, that picture is accurate. But for blood cancers, the story is more varied than most people realize, and understanding that variation can change how patients and families experience a diagnosis from the very first conversation.Some blood cancers are aggressive and require treatment to begin within days or weeks. Others are slow-moving by nature, and the right approach is not to treat immediately but to watch carefully, sometimes for months, sometimes for years, before any intervention is needed. Both of these paths are legitimate. Both are evidence-based. And both require a care team that understands the difference.September is Blood Cancer Awareness Month. It is a good time to talk honestly about what blood cancer actually is, why it does not follow a single script, and what patients and caregivers can expect when they walk through the door at The Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders.
