Hello, Ann Arbor: New University of Michigan hospital to finally open doors

ANN ARBOR, MI - The Pavilion Hospital has been in the works ever since I arrived at MLive.

After it was announced in 2018, the University of Michigan in September 2019 committed $920 million for the adult inpatient facility focused on intensive, specialty care.
