The expansion is meant to address growing capacity needs and is part of a $1.7 billion investment that Corewell Health is making across its network. A similar expansion is also planned for Corewell Health Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids. At the Troy hospital, on the north end of campus, the tower will rise eight floors and include 180 private rooms outfitted with the latest technology. Officials say the Troy hospital has among the busiest emergency departments in Corewell Health’s network, with more than 106,000 visits per year. Nancy Susick, chief operating officer for Corewell Health, further noted that the hospital in its current form is consistently over 90% full.“So, we knew we needed to expand,” Susick said. “These 180 beds will have modern equipment, new technologies and smart technologies in the rooms. And then in addition to that we are going to be renovating the entrance to the emergency (facilities). That makes it better for flow and for the ambulances. We’ll also be building a parking deck to support the new tower.” Corewell Health Chief Nursing Officer Brad Lukas noted some of the challenges that come with the hospital’s limited space for its high patient volume. “We have real capacity constraints here where sometimes our emergency center backs up because we don’t have the beds on the inpatient side to get them to,” Lukas said. “So, this is gonna be a really nice thing for the patients to have greater access to more timely care, to get the patients that are admitted to the right bed at the right time. We’re excited for this.” In terms of funding, the hospital will use a combination of cash on hand, investment assets, and tax-exempt financing over the next five years to cover the construction of the tower. “This balanced financing approach is intended to support the project while maintaining financial flexibility, preserving liquidity, and ensuring that capital resources are deployed in a prudent and sustainable manner throughout the duration of the project,” said Amanda Klingbail, a spokesperson for Corewell Health, in an email. This project is expected to begin in the summer of 2027 and aims to be complete by 2030 and ready for occupation by 2031. “Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital has long been an important part of our community, and this investment reflects the continued growth and vitality of Troy and the surrounding region,” said Troy Mayor Ethan Bake, in a statement. “The new hospital tower will create a better experience for patients and families and will support the future health needs of our community. We welcome this significant commitment to Troy and look forward to the positive impact it will have for years to come.” For more information, visit corewellhealth.org. </div></body>
