Onco360, one of the nation’s largest independent providers of oncology pharmacy services, today announced that Paul Jardina has been named president and chief executive officer.

I am excited to position the company for its next phase of growth and development.”

His deep experience in healthcare and oncology make him the ideal CEO for Onco360. We are confident that, under his leadership, Onco360 will continue to fulfill its mission of transforming oncology pharmacy, now and in the future.”
