BHSH Spectrum Health West Michigan is making a $171,000,000 investment in patient care. Located along Grand Rapids Medical Mile on Michigan Street NE, across from Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital, will rise the new 12-story, 240,000-square-foot Outpatient Center. It's one of three new patient care facilities. Construction is also underway in Lakeview and Big Rapids.

The Grand Rapids Outpatient Center is designed for primary and specialty care, or care that does not require a traditional hospital stay. Services include heart, vascular, neurosciences and residency clinics. It will feature West Michigan's only heart and lung transplant center.

There's space for continuing education through simulation training, featuring hands-on innovative technology and a focus on support systems geared toward improving physician and staff wellness.

The Outpatient Center will open in late 2024.
