Oakwood Healthcare Inc. and the Wayne State University Physician Group on Wednesday said they will create an ambulatory care center in Troy as the first project of a new joint venture called OHS/UPG Ventures. Wayne State School of Medicine Dean Robert Mentzer said, in the Crain's Detroit Business story, that the venture was about expanding into a community that the physicians group had previously not engaged. "It's our vision to work together to combine our initiatives in Southeast Michigan to broaden the base of the school to serve as a resource to everyone," Mentzer said. Troy was "a part of the puzzle," he said, adding that it would "fundamentally extend the reach of the school" while allowing it to remain "intensely committed" to serving downtown Detroit.
