MyMichigan Medical Center Mt. Pleasant has announced plans to expand the hospital by investing more than $860,000 to renovate space, expand outpatient services and align physician specialties to improve access, enhance patient experiences and better serve local communities.

About 10,000 square feet of existing space located on the south part of the Medical Center will be reconfigured. Enhancements include expanding outpatient registration to provide easier access and offer more privacy, enlarging the laboratory to offer four draw stations and a private draw room for adults and children who need to lie down. Additional revamped space will expand Walk-In Care and the waiting area and will relocate physician services for patient convenience and overall experience.

An additional $2.3 million is being invested in state-of-the-art MRI to complement the growth of imaging services.

Emergency care and the ambulatory surgery center will continue daily operations with little to no impact during the renovations. Individuals will still have access to 24/7 X-ray and lab services. Online scheduling for lab appointments is offered to streamline and reduce wait times and a self-service kiosk is available to expedite the registration process when arriving for lab testing.
