A GRAND CELEBRATION: On the same block where our Detroit hospital opened its doors nearly 110 years ago, our team members, patients, neighbors and partners came together to mark the official construction launch of our new Detroit hospital expansion project - the single largest healthcare investment in Detroit’s history!
“Our vision – to build the healthcare campus of the future, a place where people from down the street or across the globe alike can come to receive the very best care in the very best facilities – is one we’ve been cultivating for decades,” said our President & CEO Robert Riney. “We are creating a place like no other in the state, and through this major expansion of our campus, we are cementing our commitment to our Detroit community for the next century and beyond. Detroit deserves this.”
The $2.2 billion expansion plan is anchored by a new, state-of-the-art hospital facility on W. Grand Blvd., directly across the street from our legacy campus, which will remain in operation. The 20-story patient tower will span 1.2 million sq. ft with 3 floors dedicated to providing intensive inpatient physical medicine and rehabilitation in partnership with top-ranked Shirley Ryan AbilityLab, thanks to a nearly $130 investment by the Gilbert Family Foundation.
