U-M C. S. Mott Children’s Hospital and Women’s Hospital Replacement Project

An Environment of Quality Care

On October 6, 2006, we held a groundbreaking ceremony for our new state-of-the-art University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital and Women's Hospital. For decades, we have provided the best in specialized care for thousands of patients. Now we take the next step to ensure that future generations of children and women will have even greater access to our care.

In addition to providing safe, effective and progressive care for women and children, the new C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital and Women’s Hospital has been designed to provide a new and larger home for specialty services for newborns, children and pregnant women – not offered anywhere else in Michigan – such as the pediatric liver transplant program, the Level I Pediatric Trauma Program, the Pediatric and Adolescent Home Ventilator Program, and the Craniofacial Anomalies Program, high-risk pregnancy services and specialty gynecological services.

This is our way to grow and prepare for the future.
