Patient-focused care from the ground up

When it opens in April 1997, Genesys Health Park (Grand Blanc Township, MI) will be one of the first US hospitals to offer patient-focused care from the ground up. Located on a 480-acre wooded site, south of Flint and northwest of Detroit, this new hospital will take a holistic, personal approach to treating patients while attempting to keep area residents healthy during their life span. The personal touch afforded by Genesys is evident from a patient's first contact. During a typical 4-day hospital stay, most patients see up to 60 caregivers. At Genesys, through hospital design, technological innovation, and cross-trained employees, a patient will see only 12 caregivers, improving patient care by 60% while cutting personnel costs 30%. This is just one facet of putting the patient first that will be used at this hospital of the future.
