These new facilities will help us meet the growing healthcare needs of northern Michigan for generations to come." The $33.6 million project is designed to improve patient care, comfort, and access to services. The enhancements include: * Expansion of the Birthing Center from four to seven Labor, Delivery, Recovery, and Postpartum (LDRP) rooms. * Addition of dedicated triage and antepartum spaces. * A new dedicated Cesarean-section surgical suite and recovery room. * Increased ICU capacity from five to 10 beds. * New private inpatient and isolation rooms. * Updated nursing stations designed to support efficient, coordinated patient care. These improvements support Munson Healthcare's Regional Care Transformation Plan, which aims to strengthen healthcare delivery across northeast Michigan and help patients access more advanced care closer to home. The expansion follows the opening of Munson Healthcare's new Ambulatory Surgery Center in Gaylord, representing an additional $15 million commitment to the community.
