About Us

About Us

KSP Specialty Pharmacy is a specialty pharmacy within the McLaren Health Care Network, serving the needs of patients with complex disease states and high-cost therapeutic treatments. KSP began as an extension of the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute in 2019, and has since grown to assist with the specialty needs of all McLaren patients throughout Michigan, Ohio and Indiana.

Our Vision

Our vision is to be the preferred specialty pharmacy for all McLaren patients regardless of disease state and insurance provider.

Our Mission

The goal at KSP is to provide best in class patient care and customer service through a panel of expert clinical pharmacy specialists that can assist in drug education and management of not only a patient’s specialty prescriptions, but their entire prescription portfolio. The pharmacy team has direct access to the patient’s medical records and providers to ensure the time to delivery of the first dose is faster than any competitor in the market. The goal is to ensure that our in-house social worker and account resolution team find unique programs to allow patients access to high-cost medications without being financially burdened. This allows patients to stay adherent and compliant with their prescribed therapies and start a path to faster healing and recovery.
