All Services
Everything in One Place
Below, you’ll find a complete list of services and treatments offered by Spectrum Health, listed in alphabetical order. You can also type the specific disease or illness in the search bar below to find services for that condition.
Ablation
This procedure guides a wire into your heart to destroy small areas of heart tissue that may be causing your abnormal heartbeat.
Achilles Tendon Reattachment Surgery
Surgery can repair a torn or ruptured Achilles tendon. The surgeon removes tangled tendon tissue and reconnects the remaining tendon to improve range of motion. A new minimally invasive procedure called "PARS" may also help your injury.
Advance Care Planning
As a Spectrum Health patient, you have certain medical rights, including the right to provide an advance directive, also known as a living will.
Alzheimer's Disease Medicine
Newly approved drugs for Alzheimer's can temporarily prevent symptoms from worsening, especially when taken during the early stages of Alzheimer's. Currently, medicine can improve depression, behavior problems and sleep problems.
Angioplasty
Inflating a balloon to widen the artery, this procedure unclogs heart arteries to improve blood flow. Stents are often placed during an angioplasty. A stent helps keep the artery open—using either a medicated balloon or a metal stent.
Ankle Tendonitis Surgery
Ankle tendonitis surgery removes the inflamed tissue from around the tendon. This is usually reserved for extreme cases.
Apnea Medicine for Children
When apnea happens more often, medicine is sometimes needed to help the baby breathe regularly. The most common prescription is very low, carefully measured doses of caffeine.
Arthroscopic Hip Procedure
A less invasive procedure, this surgery uses a small light tube with a video lens on the end. This allows your surgeon to see exactly where he or she is working inside the joint. The scope goes in through small incisions, reducing recovery time.
ASD Device Closure for Children
This minimally invasive surgery uses a catheter through a tiny incision. The procedure places a special device, called a septal occlude, to close the hole.
Asthma Medicine
When taken as directed at the first sign of an asthma attack, quick-relief and long-term medicine can help relieve symptoms and ease airway inflammation.
Automatic External Defibrilator
These devices, if used quickly, can shock the heart back into a normal rhythm. We've worked in many communities to make sure they are available in places like Ambulances, airports, schools and other public places.
Back Surgery
Discs are removed to loosen the spine. Instruments like rods and screws as well as bone are added to allow the spine to fuse together. Fusion takes from 3 to 12 months to be complete.

For mid- and late-stage melanomas, biologic therapy, sometimes also called immunotherapy, boosts the body's response to fight the melanoma. It uses natural or manufactured substances, such as interferon, interleukens or antibodies.
Biologic Therapy for Vulvar Cancer
This procedure uses your body's immune system to fight vulvar cancer. This is done by either stimulating your immune system to attack cancer cells or by introducing agents it needs, like antibodies, to kill them. A biologic therapy cream may be applied to the skin to treat vulvar lesions.
Bladder Removal
This procedure uses your body's immune system to fight your cancer. This is done by either stimulating your immune system to attack cancer cells or by introducing agents it needs, like antibodies, to kill them.
Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant For Children
Studies are beginning to show that stem cell transplant can cure sickle cell. However, this is still a rare form of treatment for most patients.
Blood Panels for Hepatitis B
Regular blood work allows your specialist to carefully monitor changes that could affect your child's health. Medicines may be changed, adjusted or prescribed based on the results. How often blood tests are required will depend on your child's condition now, development or change in symptoms and age.
Blood Pressure Medicine
High blood pressure may be described if yours doesn't respond to diet and activity measures during pregnancy. If you are being watched for, or are diagnosed with preeclampsia, blood pressure medicine may also be used as part of your treatment.
Blood Pressure Testing
Your doctor will check your blood pressure more often. You should also tell your doctor if you are noticing any new symptoms.
Blood Transfusions
Blood transfusions help by increasing your red blood cell count. This can counteract and help maintain or combat diseases that actively impact your blood.

Even with aggressive treatment, tumors can grow back. Chemotherapy can help control and monitor tumors that have grown back when radiation isn't enough.
Chemotherapy for Leukemia
During chemotherapy, intravenous or orally-taken drugs are used to kill leukemia cells in the blood and throughout the body.
Child Life
Play is an important and familiar part of life for children. Our child life team provides opportunities, appropriate toys and activities to encourage children to play, and also explains medical procedures in order to help kids explore the hospital or clinic environment.

Corticosteroid Injection
Corticosteroids that are injected have a higher potency than oral anti inflammation medications. That means that have more potential to give you greater relief from pain.
CPAP for Respiratory Distress Syndrome
A CPAP device gently sends air into the nose to help keep the airways open. When appropriate, a CPAP can help breathing with less chance of damage to the lungs.
CRT Pacemaker
This is a special pacemaker (also called a cardiac synchronization therapy, or CRT, pacemaker). It is biventricular, meaning it works on both chambers of the heart so that they pump more in sync with each other
CT and CTA Scans
More powerful than an x-ray alone, CT scans combine X-rays with computer technology to create cross-sectional images that look like "slices" of your body. This painless procedure lets your doctor see the size, shape and position of structures deep in your body like organs and tissues.

Device Closure for Atrial Septal Defect
This minimally invasive surgery uses a catheter through a tiny incision. The procedure places a special device, called a septal occlude, to close the hole.
Digestive Surgery for GERD in Children

Gastrectomy
For certain stomach cancers, surgery to remove the entire stomach may be recommended. While this is a major recovery, it is curative when it is the recommended treatment.
Gastric Band Surgery
Performed laparoscopically, a small adjustable band is placed around the stomach. Rate of weight loss is slower than other surgeries. However, this surgery is easily reversible.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric bypass separates a small part of your stomach. This limits the amount of food you can eat at one sitting. This surgery can now often be done laparoscopically for quicker recovery.

Tumor Surgery
Surgery removes the tumor, or as much of it as possible. Tumors are often tangled or wrapped around nearby tissue or nerves, making it impossible to completely remove it.
Uronav Fusion Biopsy
UroNav fusion biopsy targets the suspicious areas and can better identify and more accurately characterize prostate cancer when present.
Uterine Artery Embolization
This procedure uses a process called embolization. It means that tiny particles are injected into the arteries of the uterus. The particles cut off blood flow to the fibroid and causes it to shrink.
