Bronson Healthcare opened its new $22 million, 52,000-square-foot South Haven Hospital.
Bronson Healthcare President and CEO Bill Manns said on Tuesday that the new facility is a $22 million investment in advancing the health and well-being of patients and families in South Haven and the surrounding region.
“The inpatient and outpatient care provided here will be second to none and will attract new providers and staff to this community for generations to come,” Manns said.
The two-story facility is located directly east of the existing hospital and is accessible from both Blue Star Highway and Bailey Avenue. A large, two-story lobby greets patients, families and staff and offers multiple amenities, including a café, gift shop, greeter station and convenient registration area with private bays.

Open for business is the new Bronson South Haven Hospital. Chief Operating Officer Matthew Dommer tells WSJM News the $22 million, 52,000 square foot facility replaces the former hospital in South Haven, which would have been too difficult to upgrade. The new facility is designed for energy efficiency and a better patient experience.
“The name of the game is efficiency,” Dommer said. “The providers and staff are really excited to be able to concentrate more on delivering compassionate care that doing day to day work that’s been made much easier.”
Dommer says Bronson broke ground in 2019, and the new hospital opened on Tuesday.
