Company News
IR Centers and Michigan Institute of Urology are expanding their collaboration to a third outpatient interventional radiology lab in Southeast Michigan. The expansion adds capacity for minimally invasive therapies and welcomes board-certified interventional radiologist Jeremy Handel, who brings over two decades of experience. The program, building on existing operations in Troy, will offer image-guided procedures for conditions including benign prostatic hyperplasia, pelvic venous disorders, and musculoskeletal conditions. The expansion aims to reduce wait times and extend access to alternatives to traditional surgery. "Expansion in Michigan is a direct response to patient need and our shared belief that advanced, image-guided care belongs close to the communities it serves," said Dr Sandeep Bagla, chief executive officer of IR Centers. IR Centers operates in more than 30 markets across the US, partnering with specialty practices to deliver interventional radiology services in outpatient settings.
In November, Michiganurology expanded its men's and women's sexual wellness services by opening its specialty clinic, REDEEM.
The Michigan Institute of Urology is partnering with Prostate Centers USA and opening IR Centers at MIU, a dedicated outpatient medical center for interventional radiology procedures in Troy.
Solaris Health, which is backed by Lee Equity Partners, has acquired Michigan Institute of Urology, an advanced urology practice.
