Innovation Cycle
The expansion of Grand Rapids Innovation Park serves as the pivot point for the transformation of health. This physical space will bring together partnership and innovative ideas that will drive health care evolution to the next level.
MSU is engaging partners who recognize the strength of the innovation cycle in elevating quality health outcomes, decreasing costs and shifting health care out of high acuity settings. The Doug Meijer Medical Innovation Building is poised to be the nucleus for attracting likeminded partners who join MSU in transforming health.
