Construction Starting On New Children's Hosp. Specialty Center

The Detroit Medical Center and Vanguard Health Systems will break ground today on a new Children's Hospital of Michigan Specialty Center.

The nonprofit DMC and Nashville, Tennessee-based Vanguard say they've agreed to a joint venture to move forward with the project. It'll be a five-floor, 105,000 square foot center on Beaubien.

Vanguard's purchase agreement with the eight-hospital Detroit health system was extended last week to allow time for governmental approvals to be completed.
