Our team approach helps you start treatment sooner
As a patient, you’ll benefit from UM Health-Sparrow’s innovative, patient-centered approach to cancer care, which is unique in Mid-Michigan. That’s because we run multidisciplinary clinics for all types of solid tumor cancers, including a breast cancer clinic, lung cancer clinic and more.
During these clinics, we bring all the experts together to create a plan personalized for you. You’ll meet with a surgical oncologist, a radiation oncologist, a medical oncologist, a social worker, a nurse navigator, a genetic counselor, pathologist, radiologist, an oncology-certified dietician and even a clinical trials rep – all in the same room, at the same time. Together, they develop a highly individual approach to your care.
Not only does this collaboration lead to the best possible plan of care tailored to you, it also means that you don’t waste time going to multiple appointments; instead, you can spend that time and energy getting started on your treatment.
Along with dedicated nurse navigators to help guide you through the whole journey of cancer therapy and survivorship, the UM Health-Sparrow cancer center is also home to one of the region’s only oncology-certified social workers, and the region’s only full-time genetic counselor.
The best technology to help you heal
When choosing a cancer care center, a dedicated and highly experienced team of oncology specialists should come first -- and you’ll find that at UM Health-Sparrow. You’ll also find impressive amenities and the most advanced therapeutic technology in Mid-Michigan.
For example, E.W. UM Health-Sparrow was among the first hospitals nationwide to deploy the ViewRay MRIdian Linac, a best-in-class MRI-guided radiation therapy system. The ViewRay can simultaneously provide imaging and treatment, allowing technicians to target radiation therapy much more effectively.
The Herbert-Herman Cancer Center’s 40 infusion bays are designed with a peaceful experience in mind.
Everything about our facilities is designed to make patients like you feel as comfortable and well-cared-for as possible, so you can focus your energy on your survivorship.
