Anchora grew out of that clinic. The work that mattered most was rarely the diagnosis or the regimen — it was the space between appointments: the symptom that needed managing at home, the oncologist who needed a letter, the family who needed to understand what came next. Anchora exists to hold that space, for patients who want it held by one clinician who knows their case.
