History
Sparrow Hospital was founded in 1896, when the Women's Hospital Association supported one doctor and one nurse out of a rented house.
In 1910, Lansing developer Edward W. Sparrow donated land on East Michigan Avenue near the Michigan State Capitol and $100,000 to help build the hospital. The hospital opened in 1912.
In 2008, a 10-story addition, the Sparrow Tower, was completed. The $160 million, 450,000-square-foot (42,000 m2) addition houses the hospital's emergency departments.[4]
The Herbert-Herman Cancer Center opened on July 17,2017. The 132,000-square-foot facility, located across Michigan Avenue from the Sparrow Tower, offers state-of-the-art cancer treatment with the help of three linear accelerators for radiation treatment. It also has 40 chemotherapy bays. Breast cancer survivor Judi Herbert, who along with her husband, Jim, and Dr. James and Susan Herman, donated a combined $2.5 million to the development of the center. The art of healing is an important factor in the $64-million cancer center, which has roughly $600,000 worth of art decorating the walls and ceiling. [5]
