Covenant Health is pleased to announce Ben DeVore as the president and chief administrative officer of Thompson Cancer Survival Center. He has served in the role in an interim capacity since Aug. 1, 2023.

As the chief administrative officer, DeVore is responsible for the strategic direction and oversight of Covenant Health’s cancer program under the Thompson Cancer name. Prior to his new role, DeVore served as vice president of operations for Thompson Cancer Survival Center for more than two years. He oversaw clinical operations of Covenant Health’s oncology service line, including radiation oncology, medical oncology, the Thompson Comprehensive Breast Center, and PET imaging services.

With eight locations across East Tennessee, Thompson Cancer Survival Center provides comprehensive cancer treatment options including immunotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiation therapy, proton therapy, and clinical trials. Thompson also offers extensive patient support services such as nurse navigation, nutrition, and genetic counseling. The Thompson team is dedicated to providing patients with access to the highest quality care while ensuring they feel like a part of a community that cares for them as a person. Covenant Health’s oncology service line was recently listed as one of “100 Hospitals or Health Systems with Great Oncology Programs,” by Becker’s Healthcare Review, which notes Covenant Health and Thompson Cancer as a top U.S. cancer care provider.
