LANSING – Sparrow Health System plans to add a large outpatient surgery center near the main hospital in downtown Lansing. 

The health system on Monday announced plans for a three-story, 100,000-square-foot outpatient surgery center and medical office facility. 

Sparrow plans to construct the new facility at the northwest corner of Michigan and Pennsylvania avenues to “support the growth of same-day surgeries” and “increase convenience and access to patients.”

According to a press release, the new center is the health system’s answer to “a rise in outpatient surgeries,” and it will free up space for inpatient procedures at the hospital. 

The new center also will keep jobs in the area and could lead to job growth, according to the news release. 

This story will be updated.
