College of Agriculture & Natural ResourcesMSU Health Care Neurology and Ophthalmology now open in East Lansing locationMSU Health Care Neurology and Ophthalmology opened in a new renovated space on the second floor of the Medical Office Building in East Lansing. The clinic relocated from the Clinical Center, offering easier access and on-site parking without kiosks. The move aims to better support patient care while keeping the same team and services.College of Agriculture & Natural ResourcesBeyond the standard: How contrast-enhanced mammography advances breast cancer detectionMSU Health Care at McLaren Greater Lansing Breast Imaging Center has made contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) available, a new imaging technology that uses iodine-based contrast dye to improve cancer detection for women with dense breast tissue. Unlike standard mammograms where dense tissue and cancer both appear white and can mask tumors, the contrast enhancement allows tumors to stand out regardless of breast density. CEM offers detection rates comparable to breast MRI but can be completed in approximately 10 minutes compared to over 30 minutes for MRI, making it a faster and more comfortable alternative at a lower cost.College of Agriculture & Natural ResourcesHenry Ford Health Lab Services now open at MSU Health Care Medical Office BuildingHenry Ford Health Lab Services has opened at the MSU Health Care Medical Office Building in East Lansing, Michigan, as part of a partnership between the two healthcare organizations. The walk-in lab offers services for patients ages 1 and older with extended weekday and Saturday hours, providing integrated test ordering and results through their combined MyChart platform. This expansion aims to improve regional access to convenient, high-quality laboratory testing with faster turnaround times.Bloomberg Law NewsHealth-Care Tech Startup Case Sheds Light on Federal ProceduresA federal district court in Michigan ruled in AHC Holdings v. MSU Health Care, Inc. that the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure govern pleading standards in defamation cases, allowing the health-care tech startup to proceed with its claim that false statements sabotaged its business. The court resolved an intra-circuit conflict in the Sixth Circuit over whether Michigan's heightened pleading requirements or the liberal federal standard applies in federal court. The decision is part of a broader trend of federal courts rejecting state-specific procedural rules, making federal court a friendlier venue for defamation plaintiffs when deciding where to file suit.MclarenCT Scan vs. MRI: Which Imaging Technology Is Right for Your Diagnosis?Dr. Toufic Jildeh from MSU Health Care explains the distinct diagnostic applications of CT and MRI technologies, noting that CT scans are preferred for detailed bone imaging while MRIs are superior for visualizing soft tissues like ligaments and cartilage. The article highlights advancements in modern imaging equipment at the McLaren Greater Lansing Outpatient Imaging Center, including wide-bore MRI machines and low-radiation CT technology designed to improve patient comfort and scan speed.PR NewswireMSU Health Care to Expand Services with In-House LaboratoryMSU Health Care Laboratories, a joint venture between MSU Health Care and Auxo Investment Partners, announced that laboratory operations will begin in mid-August 2023. The laboratory will offer diagnostic testing services including blood, molecular, drug monitoring, toxicology, pharmacogenomics, and pathogen diagnostics with industry-leading turnaround times, accepting various insurances and providing convenient draw stations throughout Michigan. Future plans include EMR integrations and an expanded, diversified test offering.PR NewswireMSU Health Care Sports Medicine Sponsors Fitness Finders Mileage Club to Promote Fitness for KidsMSU Health Care Sports Medicine is sponsoring the Fitness Finders Mileage Club, a walking and running program for children at 13 elementary schools in mid-Michigan, benefiting over 5,000 children from eight school districts. Participants receive Toe Tokens as achievement markers at checkpoints and a certificate of accomplishment upon program completion. The sponsorship expands MSU Health Care Sports Medicine's existing community outreach, which includes school pre-participation physicals, injury clinics, and medical coverage for sporting events.PR NewswireMSU Health Care names new Chief Medical OfficerMSU Health Care has appointed Michael S. Weiner, DO, as its new Chief Medical Officer, effective immediately. Weiner brings extensive healthcare leadership experience, including prior roles as CMO at Maximus and CMIO at IBM, as well as leadership positions within the U.S. Department of Defense where he oversaw significant enhancements to the DoD VA electronic medical record platform. The appointment follows MSU Health Care's recent challenges navigating a shooting incident at the facility.PR NewswireHealth Alliance Plan and MSU Health Care introduce $0 Medicare Advantage HMO planHealth Alliance Plan (HAP) and MSU Health Care have launched the HAP MSUHC Medicare HMO, a new plan with $0 premiums and copays for primary care available to seniors in 46 Michigan counties. The plan features a $500 flex card for dental, vision, and hearing services, as well as specialist visits capped at $30 and up to $3,000 in annual dental coverage. This product marks the first joint offering from the partnership between the two organizations, which stems from a broader 30-year collaboration between Henry Ford Health and Michigan State University.PR NewswireMSU Health Care's Remote Monitoring Services Help Improve Health of People with Chronic DiseasesMSU Health Care has partnered with Higi to implement a remote patient monitoring program that helps manage chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension for patients in Michigan. Early data from the 180-day pilot indicates significant improvements in patient health metrics, including an average reduction of 11.8 points in systolic blood pressure readings.
