Granger Family Funds New Lansing Mental Health Hospital

A groundbreaking mental health hospital is set to open in Lansing in 2028, thanks to a $83 million gift from the Granger family—the largest ever to University of Michigan Health-Sparrow. This 64-bed facility, built on the former Lansing Eastern High School site, will be the first in the region to offer specialized care for children, alongside services for adults and older adults. Designed to eliminate the need for long-distance travel, it promises age-appropriate, family-centered treatment and marks a major leap forward in addressing Mid-Michigan’s behavioral health crisis. Named in honor of late nurse and educator Janice M. Granger, the project reflects a legacy of community commitment and aims to transform mental health access for generations.
