A consortium of Michigan healthcare systems has created a joint venture to bring proton beam therapy cancer treatment to area patients.
Six of the state’s largest systems will participate in the collaborative, including the state’s two National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers. The group also will contribute to the creation of a $160 million cancer treatment center.
The six participating healthcare systems are:
- Ascension Health (Genesys Hurley Cancer Institute)
- Henry Ford Health System
- Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Center
- McLaren Health Care (the Great Lakes Cancer Institute-McLaren Campus)
- Trinity Health (St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, Ann Arbor)
- University of Michigan Health System
