For Michigan, By Michigan.®
Creating a new health system. For Michigan, By Michigan.®
Who we are
Formed from two leading health systems in Michigan (Beaumont Health and Spectrum Health), Corewell Health is a not-for-profit health system that provides care and coverage with an exceptional team of 64,000+ dedicated people—including more than 11,500 physicians and advanced practice providers and more than 15,000 nurses offering services in 22 hospitals, 300+ outpatient locations and several post-acute facilities—and Priority Health, a provider-sponsored health plan serving over 1.2 million members across the state of Michigan. Through experience, innovation and collaboration, we are building a system designed to meet the needs of the people we serve through care and coverage that is simple, affordable, equitable and exceptional.
One system, four divisions
We believe health care decisions are made best locally. That is why we have been intentional in creating a structure for our new system that will empower team members and leaders throughout the organization to make the best decisions for their local teams and communities, while ensuring unity and consistency at the system level.
Within the Corewell Health system are four divisions: Corewell Health East (formerly Beaumont Health), Corewell Health South (formerly Spectrum Health Lakeland), Corewell Health West (formerly Spectrum Health) and Priority Health. Each division is led by a president and governed by a dedicated division board.
Leadership
Our board of directors governs at the system level. The board includes seven members appointed by Corewell Health East, seven members appointed by Corewell Health West, the Corewell Health President & CEO, and one new Board member.
Corewell Health goals
As a health system that effectively and efficiently integrates health care services and coverage, our aim is to:
by providing exceptional, equitable care and service to all patients and health plan members
by investing in new digital technologies and providing services in more convenient ways, such as virtual and in-home care
by investing in innovative solutions that will improve health care and coverage for all Michiganders
by implementing a value-based model of care and coverage that financially incentivizes providers and payers to improve health outcomes rather than increase services

Ensure the voices of team members and physicians are heard
by gathering the input of physicians, nurses and other team members, and fostering a culture that attracts and retains top health professionals to live and work in Michigan
Our commitments
We recognize our communities and team members will have questions, and we are committed to sharing updates throughout this process.
Investing in our ommunities
Corewell Health East and Corewell Health West remain committed to investing in our communities and existing infrastructure. Specific capital business plans already approved by the respective boards will continue as planned. Future major capital investments will be considered by the new health system Board of Directors with input and direction from local boards, management and physicians.
The efficiencies we create as a new organization will enable increased capital investment. Examples of capital needs include: medical education, private rooms, digital and innovative medical technologies, physician offices, behavioral health and outpatient facilities, as well as basic infrastructure needs.
Continued commitment to research and education
Academics and research will be integral to the new organization. Through collaboration with medical and other professional schools, including Oakland University, Wayne State University and Michigan State University, the new organization will serve as a leading teaching and learning institute, fostering innovation to always remain at the forefront of medicine.
We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care and service our team members provide to our patients, members and communities every day. Together, we want to be the best place to work and practice medicine, and to foster a culture where our teams feel valued and supported and have a strong sense of belonging.
Medical and health care decisions are made best locally. We will respect the current medical staff structures, and our medical staffs will continue to function locally while collaborating to share best practices and to advance high-quality clinical care.
Local foundations will continue to support health care locally with a commitment that funds raised in local communities will stay in those communities.
Beaumont Health and Spectrum Health are strong brands in their respective markets. We will work together to determine a path forward that honors the legacy brands and will engage physicians, team members, donors and the community in that process.
