Support builds for Michigan's 1st pediatric rehab hospital

Midwest grocery chain Meijer has donated $3 million to support the construction of the Joan Secchia Children's Rehabilitation Hospital, which is slated to open in 2026 and will be Michigan's first freestanding rehab hospital for children. 

The hospital is a joint partnership between Grand Rapids, Mich.-based Corewell Health Helen DeVos Children's Hospital and Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation, a regional rehabilitation system. In February, the Devos Family Foundation donated $5 million to support the development of the Joan Secchia Children's Rehabilitation Hospital, which is expected to serve up to 2,500 children a year. 

Groundbreaking on the $70 million facility is expected to take place this year, according to an April 29 news release. The three-story hospital will include 24 private inpatient rooms and offer inpatient and outpatient services for a range of conditions, including brain injury, cerebral palsy and cancer.
