April 14, 2026- Cardinal Health released its 2026 Advanced Therapies Report: Perspectives on Community Expansion, offering new insights into how the expanding advanced therapy pipeline is reshaping sites of care. Advanced therapies are innovative gene-, cell- and tissue-based treatments that target the root cause of disease by repairing, replacing or regenerating damaged cells, offering long-term benefits for many conditions. As more therapies shift to outpatient and community-based settings, the report underscores strong provider momentum to improve access, flexibility and the overall patient experience.
The report draws on perspectives from more than 160 physicians and administrators across community practices and health systems, alongside expert commentary and a patient case study illustrating the real-world impact of outpatient advanced therapy administration.
Key findings include:
- Strong provider support for expanding advanced therapy administration into outpatient and community-based settings.
- Broad agreement that partnerships between health systems and community practices are critical to ensuring safe, high-quality care.
- Significant operational, clinical and economic planning is required to establish advanced therapy programs, particularly in community settings.
- Growing opportunity to improve patient access and experience by delivering life-changing therapies closer to home.
