Trinity Health Michigan

HEI Project Profile - Long

A medical system with proven quality and compassion, St. Joseph Mercy Health System cares about the communities they serve. Founded in 1874 by the sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, the health system is comprised of more than 1,700 beds and employs more than 14,000 individuals, including more than 2,700 physicians. For more than a decade, Henderson Engineers has assisted the organization on numerous projects across multiple campuses. One of the most notable was a major central plant renovation and addition at their largest hospital, St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor. The original plant, housing 2,500 tons of absorption chillers, was expensive to operate, had elevated maintenance costs, and didn’t adequately cool critical areas of the hospital. Henderson replaced it with a high-efficiency, 6,000-ton plant designed to accommodate the addition of a fifth 1,500-ton chiller in the future. Over the years, St. Joseph has called on Henderson for multiple projects including: the women’s health center, ER expansion & renovation of neonatal ICU, laboratory addition, angiography interventional radiology, kitchen renovation, emergency generator replacements, clinical services & surgery addition, 18 operating rooms, 10-megawatt emergency generator installation, pre & post op, patient towers, and an anatomy lab. *Professional engineering services in the states of New York, North Carolina, and Michigan are provided by HNY Consulting Engineers.
