Two Lansing retail stores specially geared to cancer Patients will open locations at Sparrow’s new Herbert-Herman Cancer Center, part of a comprehensive care approach that services all Patient needs in one spot.

Another Look Hair Institute and Front Room Underfashions expect to be open when the Herbert-Herman Cancer Center, 1140 E. Michigan Avenue, begins accepting Patients in July.

Another Look Hair Institute, which has a location at 1020 E. Saginaw, Lansing, provides customized hair services for cancer Patients, such as hair replacement for those undergoing chemotherapy. Front Room Underfashions, 727 Lincoln Court, Suite B, Lansing, is a specialty clothing boutique for women before and after undergoing mastectomies. Both will keep their current locations, in addition to opening outlets at the Herbert-Herman Cancer Center.

“Our partnership with Another Look Hair Institute and Front Room Underfashions will offer body image products and services designed for the unique needs of our cancer Patients,” said James Herman, M.D., Director of the Sparrow Cancer Center. “We are very happy to bring these products and services directly to the Patient in a convenient and welcoming environment that is Patient-centered.”

“I’m so excited, it’s the most perfect fit,” said Laurie Nash, President and owner of Another Look Hair Institute. “Being in the Herbert-Herman Cancer Center will make the cancer Patient’s journey so much easier.”

Heather Tynes, of Front Room Underfashions, said: “We are thrilled to be at the Herbert-Herman Cancer Center. It will be really nice for the Patient to be there on the day of surgery so they can come directly to us.”

The Sparrow Herbert-Herman Cancer Center is opening new doors in the fight against cancer, providing world-class treatment here at home with no need to go anywhere else.

Sparrow’s comprehensive relationship with the Mayo Clinic is making a difference in saving the lives of our Cancer Center Patients every day. Our multi-disciplinary team approach to care puts the Patient at the center of everything we do. The Sparrow Cancer Center is also transforming care through innovation such as the region’s only cancer genetics counselor and access to cutting-edge clinical trials.

Choose Wisely. Choose Sparrow.
