t. John Health this month
opened the new Providence
Park Hospital in Novi, the
first hospital to open in southeast
Michigan in more than 20 years. The
leading-edge medical center brings
with it 1,200 new jobs and an econom-
ic impact of $80 million annually.
The 200-bed, $229 million hospital
is the largest acuity adaptable hospital
in the country, meaning the rooms are
designed to allow patients to remain
in one room throughout their stay.
Typically in hospitals, patients are
transferred to various units for each
stage of their care, but a flexible design
approach and ICU-like technologies
in every room at Providence Park
enables clinicians to deliver a model of
care that minimizes patient transfers,
increases safety and reduces health-
care costs.
"The impact of this facility will
be felt far beyond Oakland County,
as the technology and best prac-
tices employed at Providence Park
Hospital will be leveraged across St.
John Health to fulfill our mission of
improving the health of individuals
in every community we serve says
Dr. Michael Wiemann, executive vice
president, St. John Health West Region.
Specialty programs at Providence
Park include neurosciences, ortho-
pedics, women's services, cardiology,
oncology and surgical services.
The new hospital features a 24-
hour emergency department with
49 individual treatment rooms. The

entire third floor of Providence Park is
dedicated to a comprehensive Women's
and Infant Health Center, including 27
labor/delivery/recovery/post-partum
rooms with sleeping areas for spouses
and families, a 15-bed special care
nursery, dedicated operating rooms,
and a gynecology unit. Additional
services will include state-of-the-art
imaging technologies, catheterization
labs, pediatric care and dedicated
pediatric emergency services.
The hospital was built with a distinc-
tive onstage/offstage design, a concept
learned from the Disney Institute, in
which the patient, caregiver and materi-
als movement are separated from the
public via dedicated corridors and eleva-
tors to ensure minimal disruption to
patients and their families.
Approximately 1/3 of the wooded
200-acre campus has been left in
its natural state and will support
walking trails and nature areas for
the community. Other portions of
the campus have been developed
through private investments of
approximately $80 million. This
includes a physician-owned medi-
cal office building that also houses
a Neurosciences Institute and
Surgical and Procedural Skills Lab;
a physician-owned Novi Orthopedic
Center that includes an ambulatory
surgery center; as well as a 108-bed
Staybridge Suites extended-stay
hotel. ❑
