Oakwood Healthcare System is making an expensive and expansive upgrade to its Heritage Hospital in Taylor.

The Dearborn-based health-care provider is renovating and expanding its surgical center. The $31 million project will improve orthopedic care, with a focus on joint replacement technology and clinical services.

"Heritage Hospital hasn't had a major improvement to its operating rooms since it was built," says Jeff Gielniak, director of architecture and construction for Oakwood Healthcare System. "This replaces the operating rooms with state-of-the-art technology."

The new and improved surgical center will feature 12 patient suites, eight operating rooms, and 40 private pre- and post-operative rooms. There will also be a new dedicated entrance with a canopy, parking lot, common areas, and registration suites for all scheduled patients and guests.

"It's a major change to the campus that allows us to take the hospital to the next level," Gielniak says.
