In Troy, Michigan, a new health clinic is set to rise on the 7.28-acre vacant land that was once the headquarters of Kmart. The University of Michigan Health has announced its plans to purchase the property for $4.42 million in order to expand its specialty clinical services and provide increased patient access in Oakland County and surrounding areas.
According to Marschall S. Runge, the CEO of Michigan Medicine, this move will serve as the starting point for a broader and deeper presence of U-M Health in southeast Michigan. The goal is to create a statewide network of care that allows patients to receive world-class healthcare close to home.
The new facility in Troy will offer innovative clinical programs, such as multi-disciplinary cancer care, under the leadership of David Miller, M.D., the president of U-M Health. The project will follow Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) guidelines to minimize negative environmental impacts. This initiative is part of several projects aimed at increasing patient access, including the upcoming D. Dan and Betty Kahn Health Care Pavilion in Ann Arbor and the Ypsilanti Health Center in downtown Ypsilanti, set to open later this year.
The expansion of U-M Health’s presence in southeast Michigan will bring world-class healthcare closer to home for patients and families across Oakland County and beyond. With innovative clinical programs, state-of-the-art facilities, and top-notch medical professionals, U-M Health continues to be at the forefront of healthcare innovation in Michigan and beyond.
