MEET DR. ANTHONY PHILLIPS
Dr. Anthony Phillips has dedicated his life and career to helping others during their most difficult times. As a cancer physician, Tony has cared for patients in the Fox Valley and Wisconsin for nearly 30 years providing life-saving diagnosis, supportive care, and advanced medical treatments.
A Badger, and Health Care Leader
A proud Wisconsin Badger, Tony earned his undergraduate degree and his medical degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He first served as a cancer physician in Janesville before moving in 1999 to Fox Valley Hematology and Oncology (FVHO) in Appleton, Neenah and Oshkosh. Tony rose to become President of FVHO and helped to negotiate the merger of FVHO with ThedaCare Oncology in 2018, and worked to ensure nearly all FVHO employees were able to assimilate into the ThedaCare system. He became the Medical Director leading more than 20 providers for ThedaCare Oncology, before transitioning to part-time clinical practice in late 2020.
Family and Stronger Communities
Tony and his wife, Heidi, have raised five children who are now all adults. Two daughters followed in Anthony’s footsteps by graduating from UW-Madison, and the youngest daughter attends UW Madison Medical School. Community charitable efforts have been a priority for Tony, especially for patients and the families affected with cancer. He’s been a featured speaker for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Light the Night kickoff breakfast, the American Cancer Society Sole Burner Fun Run, and the ThedaCare Foundation celebration of National Cancer Survivor Day. Tony has sponsored numerous golf scrambles for the benefit again of patients with cancer, but also for several athletic teams and booster clubs in the Fox Valley. In 2007 Tony led efforts, in coordination with the American Cancer Society, culminating in Appleton becoming the second municipality in Wisconsin to ban smoking in city restaurants.
Small Business Owner
Tony understands the hard work and the risks and rewards of owning a small business. Fox Valley Hematology and Oncology was an independent business requiring the physicians to wear administrative hats at multiple weekly meetings, eventually employing 130 people. From 2013 to 2022 Tony was part owner of 9 Sola Salon franchises in Appleton, Green Bay and Cleveland, OH, having input on daily operations, expansion and the eventual decision to successfully sell the franchises.
Humble Beginnings
Tony’s father grew up poor and raised by a single mom on welfare because he was only one year old when his father was murdered and left in a ditch. His mother’s father ran a farm for the local Catholic church and monastery, a farm on which the 9 children learned to pick cotton and tend to the cows and chickens. It was from these humble beginnings that Tony’s parents encouraged him to work hard, obtain a quality education, and provide for his family. He credits his parents for teaching him that success is achieved through self-reliance and hard work.
A Conservative with Fox Valley Values
A longtime financial supporter of Republican candidates, Tony has advocated for conservatives in the Fox Valley including Congressman Mike Gallagher, former Governor Scott Walker and former State Senator Roger Roth. Tony was also on Governor Ever’s Peoples Maps Commission in 2020-2021, tasked with conducting multiple public hearings and then drawing redistricting maps based on non-partisan criteria.

“As a conservative, I believe in small government, low taxes, personal responsibility, and independence from government. And I’ll work hard to ensure our freedoms are not infringed upon, parents’ voices are heard, our elections are clean and fair, and Wisconsin’s streets and neighborhoods are safe.”
