Leading Arkansas oncologist Dr. Brad Baltz has joined the cancer care practice at CHI St. Vincent. Baltz joins Dr. Peter Emanuel, who came to CHI St. Vincent as the hospital group’s new director of oncology services in September, and Dr. Joseph Beck, a medical oncologist who joined the oncology clinic in Little Rock this January. Baltz is now seeing patients in Suite 815 of the doctors building at 500 S. University Ave. in Little Rock.
Baltz has 25 years of professional oncology experience, most recently at Baltz Hematology Oncology. He previously served at CARTI Cancer Center, Hematology Oncology Services of Arkansas, Arkansas Oncology Associates, and Little Rock Hematology-Oncology Associates. Baltz attended medical school at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, where he later completed a residency and fellowship training.
“Dr. Beck and I are pleased to welcome Brad to the group,” said Emanuel. “We have all known each other for many years, but now the three of us will work together to form the nucleus of the new cancer program at CHI St Vincent. We look forward to adding additional specialists as we develop the program into a comprehensive cancer center.”
