University of Michigan Health opened the D. Dan and Betty Kahn Health Care Pavilion, a new $920 million hospital in Ann Arbor, on Nov. 23.
Four notes:
1. The 12-story, 690,000-square-foot hospital includes 264 private inpatient rooms, 20 operating rooms and three interventional radiology suites. An MR/OR suite is also expected to open in early 2026.
2. On Nov. 23, the health system transferred 186 adult inpatients to the new hospital from University Hospital and the Frankel Cardiovascular Center. The pavilion connects to the heart center via a tunnel.
3. The new hospital will provide a range of high-acuity specialty care, including areas such as neurology, neurosurgery, cardiovascular medicine and otolaryngology.
4. The project was approved by the board of regents in 2019 as a $920 million, five-year plan that would relocate 110 semi-private beds from University Hospital and convert all University of Michigan Health inpatient beds to private rooms. University of Michigan Health is the clinical arm of Ann Arbor-based Michigan Medicine.
Editor’s note: Becker’s has reached out to University of Michigan Health for a final project cost and will update this story if more information becomes available.
