Grand Rapids’ Medical Infrastructure

Grand Rapids has seen more than $2 billion of investment in health sciences and biomedical research facilities in the past two decades, transforming the city into a hub of healthcare research, education and infrastructure. You’ll find some of the most significant developments listed below.

Grand Rapids’ 500+ hospitals, research facilities, and academic institutions attract some of the world’s brightest minds and elite medical professionals. Each of these specialized institutions gives planners access to a valuable pool of medical leaders and experts that make impactful session and keynote speakers.

You can even host a meeting in the heart of downtown GR’s Medical Mile, one of the nation’s hottest life-sciences corridors. The Daniel and Pamella DeVos Center for Interprofessional Health, located on Grand Valley State University’s Medical Mile health campus, can accommodate groups from 16 to 180.

The Experience Grand Rapids team can help you leverage the region’s medical infrastructure to support your meeting, conference or convention. Contact EXGR National Sales Manager Laura Greiner for more information.
