Our focus at Gillespie Group is to provide creative solutions that will impact a region now and for years to come through collaboration,” said Pat Gillespie, Founder and CEO of Gillespie Group. “The services and use of new technology by McLaren, MSU Health Care, and Corewell Health here at the Izzo Family Medical Center will change health care for the community.”
The MSU Health Care at McLaren Greater Lansing Outpatient Imaging Center will welcomes its patients starting June 26th and offer the most advanced Imaging technology in the area. The 22,632-square-foot facility is one of the largest imaging facilities in mid-Michigan and includes four new wide-bore MRI systems along with a new PET/CT scanner which allows for faster scanning times for patient comfort.

With its first patient being seen on June 26th, McLaren continues to grow its excellent care and innovative services through its Multi-Specialty Clinic. Their services will consist of internal medical, obstetrics & gynecology, general surgery, urogynecologist services, and imaging.
