Beaumont submits plan to build 117-bed hospital in Oxford

Beaumont Health submitted a certificate-of-need application Feb. 1 to build a 117-bed, $140 million hospital in Oxford, an area the Michigan Certificate-of-Need Commission last September designated a "limited access area" because of a lack of beds within 30 minutes for patients.

A week earlier, Henry Ford Health System filed a CON letter of intent to build a 116-bed, $161.8 million hospital also in Oxford. But because Henry Ford did not file a formal application by the Feb. 1 deadline for the state's comparative review, Henry Ford will have to wait until June to file the application, giving it a slim possibility of winning approval, a state official said.

However, a Henry Ford Health spokesman said in an email to Crain's that the health system did file its certificate of need application by the Feb. 1 deadline. The system did not respond to requests for further information Tuesday night.

Over the past decade, Beaumont has wanted to build another medical-surgical hospital in northern or western Oakland County. A decision from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is expected as early as June on the proposed new hospital, to be called Beaumont Hospital-Oxford.
