The Van Andel Institute

Yes! It is a very good article.

The Van Andel Institute is a fairly new but well-respected institution. They are the sponors of the "Cure Cancer Project."

Smile They are here in Grand Rapids

and have just broken ground to expand. My onc is head of Spectrum Oncology (Dr. Mark Campbell) and he is hoping to do much work with the Van Andel (his new location will be the Lemmen Holton Cancer Center across from the Van Andel). Take care and God bless.
