Corewell Health is committed to being a leader in patient and family-centered care and more families visit the Stuart H. Blanck Emergency Center at Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital than any other emergency center in Michigan.
This incredible demand for Corewell emergency care provided an opportunity to invest in a facility that would allow our team to advance support for patients and families even further. The project to renovate and expand the Emergency Center concluded in February 2019.
Improvements will make the new Emergency Center experience more private, more comfortable and more efficient, while maintaining extraordinary high-quality care.
