University Partnerships
Saginaw Valley Neurosurgery has established strong clinical and community partnerships with a variety of universities around the state and the country. Our physicians work with Northwestern University researchers in Chicago & Evanston, Illinois and Emory University researchers in Atlanta, Georgia to develop cures for brain cancer. Recently, Saginaw Valley Neurosurgery established a partnership with researchers at Michigan State University in East Lansing to contribute to a study involving problems associated with the carotid artery.
In addition, Saginaw Valley Neurosurgery has established a very strong relationship with Central Michigan University. Our physicians work with researchers and students at the Field Neurosciences Institute lab on the CMU campus in Mt. Pleasant. Saginaw Valley Neurosurgery has also partnered with the Central Michigan University Research Corporation to build and staff a neurosurgical telemedicine network in northeastern lower Michigan. Our physicians have been one of the first groups to participate in the development of CMU RC’s Michigan Health Information Alliance (MiHIA). Also, Saginaw Valley Neurosurgery physicians have actively supported the development of CMU's planned medical school in the city of Saginaw.
Saginaw Valley Neurosurgery physician E. Malcolm Field, M.D. and his wife, Lois, have established two chairs of learning at Saginaw Valley State University and have been the catalyst for hundreds of young people to receive higher education. In 2007, SVSU coined its performing arts theatre the "Malcolm Field Theatre for Performing Arts"
