We provide leading-edge medical services, highly specialized healthcare professionals, and quality care. We’re a not-for-profit, community-owned health system, which includes three hospitals, an outpatient surgery center, long-term care, and hospice care through over 56 access points in Southwest Michigan.

The history of Lakeland dates back to the 1800s, when our hospitals first began meeting the needs of area residents. Today, we are proud to continue that tradition of service to our neighbors in the community with safe, high-quality, compassionate care.

The newly added 22,000-square-foot facility in Niles, Michigan will have 43 exam rooms and will house both Southwestern Medical Primary Care, Niles and Spectrum Health Lakeland Ear, Nose, and Throat providers. The $7.8 million project is expected to be completed and open to patients March 2023. This facility is a continued investment in our Niles community and the health of those we serve. It houses a range of coordinated health services from diagnostics to primary and specialty care, all in one place, allowing us to deliver care to a patient’s whole family, right in their community.
