Located along Grand Rapid’s Medical Mile, the clinical simulation department operates out of two state–of–the–art simulation facilities. The Corewell Health Clinical Simulation Center, at 275 Michigan St. NE, is a 10,000-square-foot facility located directly across the street from the Butterworth Hospital campus. Our second location is a 25,000-square-foot facility located at 109 Michigan St. NE within the Doug Meijer Medical Innovation Building.

The mission of clinical simulation at Corewell Health West Michigan is to transform patient safety, quality, education, and research through experiential learning and technological advancements in a controlled training environment.

Facilities and services are available to Corewell Health team members, as well as those external to Corewell Health.
