The donation, awarded to MSU’s college of human medicine, will fund the construction of a new medical innovation building, which will house a theranostics clinic featuring a cyclotron-equipped radiopharmacy and PET/MR scanner. The building will be located in the MSU Grand Rapids Innovation Park and named for Mr. Meijer, a cancer survivor and co-chair of supermarket chain Meijer.
“This new medical innovation building will help save lives and improve the quality of life for many people through remarkable cancer-fighting technology. Patients will no longer have to travel overseas to receive needed treatment,” Mr. Meijer said in a news release. “I am living proof this technology works.”
The groundbreaking ceremony for the Doug Meijer Medical Innovation Center is scheduled for Nov. 18.
