D

etroit Medical Center is
proceeding with the merger
of Sinai and Grace hospi-
tals, which collectively
comprise the hospital system's
Northwest Region.
DMC has announced medical
appointments for the newly constitut-
ed region — medical staff leaders and
section heads are drawn from both
hospitals — and construction con-
tracts for the project at Sinai.
Barton Malow Construction and
Dumas Concepts in Building will
handle the major construction. Rosetti
Associates, Inc., will team up with
three minority firms for architectural
and engineering services. The entire
project will cost an estimated $165
million and is expected to be finished
in the spring of 2001.

Groundbreaking is set for April.
DMC spokesperson Cheryl
Yurkovich said DMC has applied for a
Certificate of Need from the state,
which is a requirement of hospitals
that plan to add on or build anew.
DMC plans to close Grace Hospital
(formerly Mt. Carmel) when expan-
sions and additions to Sinai are com-
pleted. They include a new 125,000-
square-foot outpatient care facility, the
doubling of the size of the emergency
department, expansion of the obstet-
rics unit and a new parking deck.
The merger of the Outer Drive
hospitals will mean a loss of roughly
600 inpatient beds. Grace-Sinai, as it
will be called, will house 530 licensed
beds. DMC Chief Executive Officer
Dave Campbell said current occupan-
cy rates at both hospitals range
between 50 and 60 percent. He
expects an 85-percent occupancy rate
at the new hospital. ❑
