Trinity Health will open a new $229 million hospital in Brighton, Michigan on April 19, replacing the system's current hospital in Howell, located about eight miles away. The four-story, 174,000-square-foot campus expands short-stay and surgical capacity with 56 acuity-adaptable beds, 18 short stay unit beds, nine licensed operating rooms, and other specialty services. However, the new hospital will not offer labor and delivery services.
Why it matters
The new Trinity Health Livingston hospital is part of the system's strategy to modernize and expand its care footprint in the region, providing more advanced services closer to where patients live. While the loss of labor and delivery is a notable change, the hospital aims to better meet the community's evolving healthcare needs.
The details
The new hospital will be able to care for a higher number of critical care patients, reducing the need to transfer patients to other facilities. Current inpatients will transition to the new hospital on April 19, with equipment and staff transitions taking place in the weeks before and after. Two additional spaces have been reserved for future growth.
- Trinity Health Livingston will open on April 19, 2026.
- The current Howell hospital will close on April 19, 2026 when patients transition to the new facility.
The players
Trinity Health
A large Catholic health system that operates hospitals and other healthcare facilities across the United States.
What’s next
Trinity Health plans to closely monitor utilization and patient feedback at the new Brighton hospital in the months following the opening to determine if any additional services or expansions may be needed.
The takeaway
This investment by Trinity Health demonstrates the system's commitment to modernizing its care delivery and expanding access to advanced services for residents in the Livingston County region, though the loss of labor and delivery services may be a concern for some in the community.
