LANSING – Sparrow Health System unveiled its new $20 million health center on Tuesday morning.
The three-story facility, located at 2909 E. Grand River Ave., houses radiology, endoscopy and primary care services. The health center opens Monday.
Over the winter, it will add a drive-thru pharmacy, geriatric center and outpatient rehabilitation.
The services are mostly being transferred from Sparrow’s main campus and St. Lawrence campus.
“This is a prime example of how Sparrow is establishing new locations … to deliver the best patient experiences when and where you need it,” said Tom Bres, senior vice president and chief administrative officer at Sparrow.
Sparrow has invested $285 million in the region over the last five years, including construction of a new cancer center and renovation of the dining area on its main campus.

Sparrow Medical Group’s Eastside office has moved its physicians to the health center already. Physicians from SMG North will move in next month. The 70,000 square-foot building will be fully occupied by spring, Bres said.
Moving those services under one roof makes health care more convenient for patients, especially seniors who use both the geriatric and physical therapy services, said Doug Edema, vice president of Sparrow Medical Group.
The health system’s senior care services have been housed for the past 30 years at St. Lawrence, which is now outdated, said Dr. Kristin Gaumer, senior health practice leader.
“It feels like we’re going from the early 1900s to the 21st century,” she said.
