Align ENT + Allergy Expands into Michigan with New Partnership

Align ENT + Allergy (“Align”) has announced a significant partnership with Mid-Michigan ENT, a leading private practice based in East Lansing, Michigan. This strategic move marks Align’s entry into Michigan, making it the fourth state in which the organization operates. With this expansion, Align reinforces its commitment to providing physician-led, community-driven healthcare while strengthening its national presence.

Mid-Michigan ENT, a well-established practice with over 20 clinicians—including eight board-certified otolaryngologists, four physician assistants, and five audiologists—has been delivering comprehensive ENT and allergy care to pediatric and adult patients in the Greater Lansing and Mid-Michigan area since 1997. The partnership is aimed at enhancing patient care while maintaining the practice’s autonomy and commitment to locally focused healthcare.

Leaders from both organizations expressed their enthusiasm for the collaboration. Dr. Mark Lebeda of Mid-Michigan ENT praised Align’s physician-centered approach, highlighting the organization’s respect for clinical autonomy. Align CEO James Grant, MD, noted the importance of maintaining high-quality patient care in Michigan and beyond, while Dr. Ahmed Sufyan emphasized the value of Align’s business expertise in navigating the challenges of the healthcare landscape. This partnership positions Align to further expand its services across Michigan and other states in the coming months.
