Thanks to an increasing number of affiliate network hospitals and physicians, thousands more cancer patients across Michigan, Ohio and beyond have access to expert opinions, selected clinical trials and specialized care from Karmanos. Through these partnerships, affiliate and Karmanos physicians review cases through videoconferencing and other physician-to-physician communications.

Patients benefit from affiliations by:

• Providing Institute expertise close to home;

• Working with community physicians and their patients through the diagnosis and treatment process;

• Offering the latest therapies to patients, near their homes, through participation in clinical research studies; and

• Providing a seamless transition to the Institute for patients who require diagnostics and treatments not readily available in the community.

Karmanos is currently affiliated with:

Crittenton Hospital Medical Center – Rochester, Michigan

Creating such partnerships is part of Karmanos’ regional strategy to collaborate on cancer care and research with community hospitals and health care systems. The goal is to deliver high-quality service to community hospitals and physicians across the region and establish partnerships to provide first-class patient care. Karmanos affiliates refer patients who can benefit from the latest therapies and specialty services we provide and participate in clinical trials. Karmanos wants to help patients receive the best treatment closer to home.
