ProMedica Cancer Institute Affiliates With Cleveland Clinic Cancer Center SENIOR CENTER TO 8A
ProMedica Cancer Institute and Cleveland Clinic Cancer Center have established a formal affiliation to expand access to highly-specialized cancer treatments, clinical expertise and research studies for patients in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan. Cancer specialists at ProMedica and Cleveland Clinic will now regularly consult and collaborate on patient treatment plans for all types of cancers including those that are rare and more complex. Additionally, both organizations will work together to ensure a seamless and well-coordinated experience for patients. “Two is better than one and when two well-respected healthcare leaders combine their expertise, it will result in new levels of
cancer care for patients,” said Kenneth Krupp, M.D., hematologist/oncologist and director of oncology medical operations, ProMedica Physicians. Dr. Krupp is among a multidisciplinary team of cancer specialists from ProMedica and Cleveland Clinic who will work toward providing high-quality, cost-effective and technology-driven care for patients with cancer. “This affiliation is a formal relationship: two oncology leaders coming together to collaborate and work together. This benefits the patient. We will have the opportunity to share best practices. Physicians from both systems will be able to participate in cancer conferences—where the patient is reviewed by experts and a treatment plan developed.
And for certain treatment that may not be available locally, the patient will have access to specialized treatments by a national leader. Second opinions will be handled by dedicated nurse navigators to simplify the process for the patient. And, there remains a strong commitment for the patients to return to our community for care that can be provided here. Two is better than one and for both ProMedica and Cleveland Clinic Cancer Center, we are working together for the patient,” noted Ann M. Kujawa MSN, RN, OCN Vice President, ProMedica Cancer Institute. An immediate benefit of the new ProMedica and Cleveland Clinic connection is a streamlined referral process to make it easier for patients to obtain second opinion
