Victor Hong, UM clinical associate professor of psychiatry, said in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wbkEO-QvwCw\">a video released <\/a>after approval by the regents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis new hospital will enhance the care in the region, add 16 new beds for pediatric patients whereas before the closest inpatient bed for a child was about an hour away from Lansing.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will replace the hospital\u2019s facility that is currently located on the St. Lawrence campus, with a building in a park-like setting behind the main hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The $60 million freestanding surgical facility is meant to ease capacity of the main hospital\u2019s 22 operating rooms, opening initially with four operating rooms and potentially expanding with two more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur communities deserve the level of care that is associated with U-M Health, and both of these projects address unmet needs, including the scarcity of behavioral health services in the region,\u201d Margaret Dimond, Regional President, U-M Health, said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Groundbreaking for both facilities is expected this
