Marquette General Announces New Hospital Construction Plan

North Wind

Marquette, MI - Marquette General Hospital and Duke LifePoint Healthcare have announced plans to construct a new 265-bed hospital.

Duke LifePoint acquired MGH in September 2012, and according to M-G-H CEO Gary Muller, diligent research and deliberation began before the acquisition was complete to explore options for expanding and enhancing medical services at the present hospital location and evaluate feasibility of constructing a new hospital facility.

It will take approximately three years to plan, design and construct the new facility.

Adjoining the 265-bed hospital structure, Marquette General plans to construct a 168,000-square-foot physician office building. 

  A location for the new facilities has yet to be determined.
