Welcome to the BAMF Health Podcast, where we explore the future of theranostics, precision medicine, and personalized healthcare.
In this episode, Christine VanTimmeren is joined by BAMF Health Founder & CEO Anthony Chang and Dr. Adnan Munkarah, President of Clinical Enterprise and Chief Physician Executive at Henry Ford Health, to discuss a major milestone: the groundbreaking of a new comprehensive theranostics center in downtown Detroit.
This conversation dives into the strategic partnership between BAMF Health and Henry Ford Health, why Detroit was selected as BAMF’s second location, and how this new center will expand access to cutting-edge theranostics care across Michigan, the Midwest, and beyond.
We explore the infrastructure and workforce challenges facing theranostics, the importance of vertical integration in radiopharmaceuticals, and how this collaboration will help train the next generation of clinicians, scientists, and healthcare professionals. Most importantly, we discuss what this means for patients—bringing earlier detection, more personalized treatment, and new hope to those who need it most.
This episode highlights how partnerships like this are not just building facilities—but building the future of medicine.
