Munson Health Care is nearing completion of a new 18,000-square-foot surgical center in Cadillac, Michigan. The outpatient facility will feature one operating room and three procedure rooms, offering a range of surgical services to help provide care closer to patients' homes. The center's location near the highway is intended to accommodate patients traveling from multiple directions, as many residents in the region currently have to drive an hour or more to reach the nearest surgery center.

Why it matters

The new Cadillac Surgical Center is part of Munson Health Care's commitment to improving medical access for rural communities in Northern Michigan. By offering surgical services closer to home, the facility aims to reduce travel burdens for local families and make it easier for patients to receive the care they need.

The details

The new surgical center is designed with room for future growth, as Munson Health Care has plans to add a second operating room as demand for services increases. The facility is built to provide a range of surgical procedures, from operating rooms to procedure rooms. Munson Health Care administration, physicians, donors, and members of the media have been invited to tour the state-of-the-art center prior to its official opening.

  • The facility is expected to be operational this spring, though an official opening date has not yet been announced.

“Our patients need access to care and many patients, if they want to go to a surgery center right now, would have to drive an hour or more from their home to get that experience. So now it's right here. It's close to home in Cadillac and it's a great location. People from the north, south, east or west were right off the highway, easy to get to.”
