The new Metro Health is the region's first suburban hospital that services more than 130,000 patients in Kent and surrounding counties.  The site is unique in the nation.  It is not just a hospital campus, it's a health care village - Metro Health Village - a 170-acre, mixed-use development at the Byron Center Avenue exit along the fast growing corridor of the M6 expressway.  The new hospital sits at the center of the village.  It features 208 private inpatient rooms in a facility that's one and a half times as large as the previous hospital.  Every inch has been designed to change and improve the patient experience.  From the healing gardens to the glass atrium lobby to the curved corridors to a cutting edge information system that simplifies processes and improves patient care, it all looks, feels and works better. 
Metro Health Hospital offers a broad range of services, including impatient and oupatient care, emergency, surgery, intensive care, childbirth, rehabilitation, wellness and community education.  It provides physician training in affiliation with Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine.

The village that surrounds the hospital will have more than 40 other buildings.  Among these buildings will be physician offices, medical specialty centers, restaurants, shops and retailers.  The village plan also includes a hotel, parks, walking trails and a YMCA where wellness, day care and medical services will be provided.
