What to Expect
Construction is set to kick off later this month, with a timeline spanning three years, aiming for a grand opening in late 2028. What does that mean for you? A much-improved Emergency Department experience! The project includes the renovation of a whopping 44,600 square feet of the existing Emergency Department and dialysis area, alongside an additional 13,100 square feet of newly constructed space.
With this ambitious expansion, observers can expect more private rooms, additional stretcher bays, and an end to hallway chairs and stretchers! Say goodbye to overcrowding issues and hello to a safer and more private environment for patients and healthcare providers alike.
Focusing on the Community
But that’s not all. The primary goals of this renovation encompass enhancing the patient and family experience while also addressing the needs of staff—after all, happy staff leads to happy patients! The upgraded Emergency Department will feature improved spaces for families, ensuring that they can be there for their loved ones during critical moments.
And for the tech enthusiasts out there, the design will incorporate flexible spaces boasting advanced technology, including plans for a brand-new CT scanner. This forward-thinking design is aimed at making the department not only meet current healthcare realities but also prepare for future demands.
Staying Open During Construction
Although this massive endeavor is set to change the hospital landscape as we know it, rest assured that the Level 1 Trauma Center will continue operations without interruption throughout the construction period. This is great news, ensuring that the community continues to receive high-quality emergency care while the renovations are in progress.
Funding the Future
Curious about where all this funding is coming from? The project is backed by designated capital investment funds from both Trinity Health’s national system office and the Ann Arbor hospital, coupled with generous donor support. It’s truly a collaborative community effort aimed at elevating healthcare services for everyone.
