Sparrow Iona Hospital
Ionia, Michigan
As part of Sparrow’s mission, delivery of care to outreaching rural communities is critical. With a goal of furthering success for Sparrow Ionia, the health system determined the need to construct a replacement hospital on 23 acres of land at an improved location for servicing the Ionia community and adjacent areas.
The new Sparrow Ionia Hospital was developed as a critical access hospital providing all major healthcare diagnostic and treatment spaces. The hospital contains 22 private inpatient beds, a surgery department with two state-of-the-art operating rooms, two procedure suites, a 12-private-room emergency room, and an imaging suite with all diagnostics. An outpatient clinic provides for rotating physician services, infusion, and a sleep studies clinic.
Architecture for the new facility considers the importance of the new hospital to the Ionia community and establishment of the Sparrow brand. The two-story facility is constructed of brick and stone and embraces a main entrance tower that has been established on Sparrow Hospital’s main campus in Lansing.
Additional long-term master planning for the site considers development of an attached 40,000-square-foot medical office building.
