Lansing, Mich.-based University of Michigan Health-Sparrow received the largest gift in its history to support a new behavioral health hospital.
The Alton L. and Janice M. Granger Charitable Gift Fund’s gift will help finance the construction, renovation and operation of the Janice M. Granger Behavioral Health Building. Project leaders plan to break ground in August and open the facility in 2028, according to a June 25 news release from the system. The U-M Board of Regents formally accepted the gift June 25. The system did not disclose the amount.
The 64-bed behavioral health hospital will serve adults and geriatric patients. It will also serve as the area’s first inpatient behavioral health unit for children and adolescents, with 16 dedicated beds.
At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
