According to the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation, hospitals throughout the Detroit metro area are investing hundreds of millions of dollars in new technologies and patient amenities. For instance, a $156 million hospital expansion is taking place at the St. John Health Hospital and Medical Center in Detroit in an attempt to grow and solidify their "reputation as a regional destination hospital for primary and advanced medical treatment and research."
Construction had been postponed on some of these projects because five area hospitals had filed a suit in the Michigan Supreme Court to stop St. John's and the Henry Ford Health System from proceeding with over $500 million in hospital construction in Western Oakland County. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case. For the full story see the August 31st edition of Crains Detroit.
