Cancer Experts Online, By Phone or In Person
At the Henry Ford Cancer Institute, we recognize the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on our current and newly diagnosed patients across Michigan and the other states that we serve.
Your health and safety remain our top priorities. We have enhanced standards in place that allow us to safely provide cancer care to you or your loved one for in-person appointments and treatment, including:
- Specific screening and testing prior to entering the facility for all patients and visitors
- Those with COVID-19 symptoms are tested and provided the proper care, which we help coordinate.
- Infection control safeguards in all our care environments, including chemotherapy/infusion, radiation therapy, time-sensitive cancer surgeries, and others, to provide a safe care experience
For new patients, our 17 multidisciplinary care teams and tumor boards continue to meet and discuss the best cancer care plan.
We recognize the desire and need for in-person appointments to consult with our cancer care physicians and are making those available along with comprehensive virtual care options.
We want to meet you where you’re most comfortable, so you can get the care you need and never have to miss an appointment – whether it’s a virtual care visit or in-person appointment at one of our locations.
Virtual Cancer Care Connections
We understand you may be hesitant to come in for a visit. As part of our commitment to provide the safest, most advanced cancer care, we offer several virtual care options to get you the care you need by expanding our reach beyond the walls of our hospitals and clinics.
Virtual care allows you and your Henry Ford Cancer Institute team to connect remotely, which means no waiting rooms, no parking, no driving.
We have several options available for our current and newly diagnosed patients to connect with your cancer care team:
