The southern Macomb County cancer center that opened in December 2022 now provides infusion treatments, pharmacy and more clinic space
The Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute has expanded its offerings for patients at the Karmanos Cancer Institute – Roseville, located at 30550 Utica Road. After a year of expansion and renovations at the new cancer center, patients may now receive chemotherapy infusion services. More clinic space has been added to the facility, allowing three physicians to provide thoracic, head and neck, breast, cutaneous, and gynecologic cancer treatment in the community. The clinic also offers on-site lab draws and a compounding pharmacy will open soon at Karmanos’ 16th location.
“Our new Roseville facility is an extension of our plan to grow our ambulatory network. Karmanos now has 16 network sites in Michigan and northwest Ohio. Our strategic objective is to provide a broad array of best-in-class cancer services to our patients in the communities in which they live. This facility now provides infusion treatments, access to a broader array of specialists and a pharmacy,” said Brian Gamble, president of Karmanos Cancer Hospital in Detroit and the Karmanos Cancer Network.
Renovations to the 6,000-square-foot facility include the addition of eight infusion bays, which include a negative pressure room, and a new compounding pharmacy, allowing the pharmacy team to mix the medications needed for each patient receiving chemotherapy on the day of treatment. The facility housed six clinic rooms when it opened in December 2022, having formerly housed primary care services for the community.
Tarik Hadid, M.D., MPH, M.S., FACP, hematologist and medical oncologist, member of the Head and Neck Oncology, Phase 1 Clinical Trials and Thoracic Oncology Multidisciplinary Teams (MDTs), and Ammar Sukari, M.D., medical oncologist, leader of the Head and Neck Oncology MDT, and member of the Breast Cancer, Thoracic Oncology and Phase 1 Clinical Trials MDTs, began practicing in Roseville when the facility opened. They are now joined by John Wallbillich, M.D., gynecologic oncologist and member of the Gynecologic Oncology MDT at Karmanos. Dr. Wallbillich has been with Karmanos since 2019 and provides evidence-based treatment for cervical, fallopian tube, gestational trophoblastic disease, ovarian cancer, uterine (endometrial cancer), vaginal and vulvar cancers.
“Our mission is to provide our patients with their best chance and to treat them with dignity, respect and compassion. We accomplish this by providing access to our top-rated physicians and a staff dedicated to the mission and continually recognized for their high patient satisfaction scores. When patients walk in the door at Roseville, they can expect the same level of service as our patients in our other 15 locations across Michigan and northwest Ohio and our main campus facility in Detroit,” Gamble added.
