Wayne Health's approach to care

If you are diagnosed with a chronic illness, Wayne Health providers will work with you on a customized care plan and coordinate with your entire care team, including community support resources. We use a patient-centered approach, focusing on your priorities, while employing the latest evidence-based practices, in managing your care and helping you achieve lifestyle changes to live your best life.

We devote time to educating and counseling patients on disease progression, management options and self-care. Family is important to us. Our physicians will care for your whole family. This continuity of care means you will have a doctor who is familiar with your total health picture …who knows you and your family as people, not just as patients.

Advancing research and medical education

Physicians and researchers at Wayne Health are also faculty at Wayne State University School of Medicine who conduct basic, translational and clinical research. This can make the latest treatments and clinical trials available to you sooner than other providers without a medical school affiliation.

The teaching role of WSU faculty members allows them to share their vast medical knowledge and experience with medical students and resident physicians, while motivating them to remain at the forefront of their medical specialty.
