A bright start: Brighton Center For Specialty Care Is now open!

Author | Jina Sawani

Michigan Medicine has expanded its health care services with today’s opening of the new Brighton Center for Specialty Care.

Located at 7500 Challis Road, the three-level, 297,000 square feet facility houses more than 50 adult and pediatric specialty services, including cancer, cardiovascular, orthopaedic surgery, MRI and more.

“The Brighton Center for Specialty Care is special because it offers a variety of world-class specialty services together in one building that is not a hospital,” said John Wei, M.D., medical director of the Brighton Center for Specialty Care. “We can provide a significant number of services that patients would normally have to go see at multiple locations all under one roof.”

A high level of care

Michigan Medicine was recently ranked No. 1 in Michigan and No. 5 in the country in the U.S. News and World Report’s2018-19 “Best Hospitals” rankings, an honor that measures excellence in patient care.

At the new state-of-the-art facility, Michigan Medicine faculty will bring patients the same high level of care they have come to expect in Ann Arbor, but closer to where they live in Livingston County.

In addition to specialty services, the center has four operating rooms, with the ability to add two more in the future, and 16 infusion chairs.

The Michigan Medicine Brighton Health Center, located across the street from the new facility, will remain in operation and specialize in general pediatrics, internal medicine, and obstetrics and gynecology.

“We’re constantly looking for ways to bring our patients the health care services and patient care they desire in their local community,” said David A. Spahlinger, M.D., president of the U-M Health System and executive vice dean for clinical affairs of the U-M Medical School.

“The Brighton Center for Specialty Care will offer our patients in Livingston County care that is convenient and closer to home. In addition, we’re also proud to contribute to the local economy, as the new facility will bring approximately 450 jobs to the area.”

Patients can schedule appointments by calling 810-263-4000. Building hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
