Five of Beaumont Hospital's top radiation oncologists have said they will leave the Royal Oak, Mich.-hospital over an aborted business deal with a for-profit physician company, according to a Crain's Detroit Business report.
The departure stems from the physicians' dissatisfaction with Beaumont Health System's May decision to nix a joint venture deal with a for-profit radiation oncology company, which hospital officials declined to name.
Colette Stimmell, Beaumont's director of corporate communications, said there was a "difference of opinion on the future direction of the oncology program," according to the report, as the board took issue with a partnership with a for-profit group.
Ms. Stimmell said the hospital's radiation oncology department remains large and strong with a committed team of physicians.
