The 24/7 emergency department will serve as a critical healthcare resource for the Grand Ledge community according to Dr. Larissa Traill, medical director for both McLaren Grand Ledge and McLaren Greater Lansing.
Dr. Traill emphasized the importance of having emergency services closer to home.
"Minutes can matter in life or death injuries. Having a stabilizing facility nearby is very helpful... We will have a full lab. We will have a CT scanner, X-ray, and all of the services available that you would expect in an emergency department," Traill said.
The facility hosted an open house Wednesday where community members could tour the rooms, X-rays, and CT scanner it features. Construction of the facility took workers 11 months to complete.
Primary care services are set to begin October 6 with the emergency care building opening October 20.
