Great Lakes Integrated Network IPA (GLIN IPA)

We want to acknowledge National Primary Care Week during the first week of October. Primary care is essential for healthcare and focuses on the relationship between physicians and patients. Studies have shown that communities with more primary care physicians are generally healthier. At GLIN IPA, we are proud and grateful for the primary care physicians in our group. Please visit our website at https://lnkd.in/g9mB3wkR to learn more about the primary care physicians in our network. #NationalPrimaryCareWeek #CommunityHealth #PrimaryCare

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time when we raise awareness, promote prevention, and support treatment for those affected by breast cancer. Approximately 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, making it one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women in the U.S. Throughout this month, numerous campaigns and programs are in place to advocate and raise awareness about breast cancer. Get involved with your community today. #BreastCancerAwareness #PinkOctober #EarlyDetectionSavesLives

Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital (MFSH), in collaboration with WNY Urology Associates, is proud to be the first hospital in the area to begin offering Adstiladrin©, an innovative gene therapy treatment for bladder cancer. Astiladrin is the first and only FDA-approved gene therapy delivered directly into the bladder for non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The targeted treatment administered every three months, works with the body’s immune cells to fight the cancer in the bladder only, and does not impact the whole body’s immune system. An added patient benefit is the comfort and convenience of being provided under the care of their urologist. “We are extremely proud to be the first in the area to offer bladder cancer patients this innovative treatment for NMIBC at Millard Suburban,” said Kent Chevli, MD, FACS, site director of Urology at Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital and president, Western New York Urology & Cancer Care of WNY. “The effectiveness and minimal side effects seen during clinical trials are very promising. Being able to offer our patients access to this type of advanced cancer care and improved outcomes is truly remarkable.” Read more https://lnkd.in/e7X8JXut
