Seamlessly Integrated Care

With the Brigitte Harris Cancer Pavilion as an anchor in Detroit, our integrated cancer service line offers expertise network-wide, including multidisciplinary care, advanced treatment options and supportive services across five hospitals and 10 outpatient cancer centers.

Our integrated network ensures that patients have access to the latest advances in cancer treatment, no matter where they live.

Our integrated cancer network is set up to help our providers organize care for each patient. Through resources such as oncology nurse navigators, each patient doesn’t have to worry about calling and making appointments, allowing them to focus on fighting their cancer and living their lives. This system also gives us a seamless handoff, ensuring that no matter where each patient starts in our network—from a cancer screening to a consultation to a complex surgery or clinical trial—we can get them to the right provider, at the right time, at the right place.

Our longstanding commitment to quality is reflected in continuous accreditation by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC) since 1931, and our most recent accreditation in 2023, a 3-year accreditation as a fully Integrated Network Cancer Program. In addition, all of our hospitals have achieved breast accreditation from the CoC, based on compliance with the highest quality standards of care for benign and malignant disease of the breast for all patients. We are also accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer, and continue to push for greater innovation in colorectal care—most recently by performing the first single-port robotic colectomy for a precancerous sigmoid lesion in Michigan.

Henry Ford Jackson Hospital launches high-risk breast clinic

This is the latest of our hospitals to feature the specialized clinic. During screening mammography, women at high risk (a lifetime breast cancer risk of 20% or greater) are encouraged to follow up with the high-risk breast clinic for ongoing surveillance and monitoring in an effort to detect disease as early as possible. Services offered include contrast-enhanced mammography, breast MRI, genetic counseling and testing, prophylactic treatment options and risk-reduction lifestyle counseling.

State-of-the-art facilities

Throughout our regional cancer network, we are building on a heritage of equipping our facilities with the latest resources for fighting cancer. Some examples include:

• Our recent surgical services expansion at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital, which ensures the most advanced treatments available for cancer.
• Henry Ford Medical Center – Bloomfield Township offers multidisciplinary cancer clinics, providing easy access to multiple cancer services, including labs and imaging.
• At Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital, patients have access to advanced treatments such as our ION robotic bronchoscopy system.
