WESTLAND — Garden City Hospital and the city of Westland have come together to open the Westland Community Health Center.

The Westland Community Health Center is equipped with a state-of-the-art free-standing emergency department, which offers access to care, close to home.

With more than $10 million invested, the center has a spacious, open floor plan emergency room with 14 private rooms, two trauma bays, CT Scans, digital x-rays and a full-service lab.

In addition to the emergency department, the health center also houses an outpatient family medicine clinic, physical therapy office and specialty physician offices to offer Westland access to a wide range of medical services in one location.

From Garden City to Westland and all the surrounding neighborhoods, we are on a mission to serve you like you are our family. – Osama Siblani, board chairman of Garden City Hospital

Osama Siblani, chairman of the board for Garden City Hospital, said that this is a project that started three or four years ago.

“During the pandemic, this was being built and remodeled,” he said. “And that’s why it happened today and why it’s a miracle, because it happened during the pandemic. And while other hospitals keep getting bigger and gobbling each other up, Garden City Hospital believes that the best hospitals are the community hospitals that treat you and treat your neighbors like treating their own family. And from Garden City to Westland and all the surrounding neighborhoods, we are on a mission to serve you like you are our family.”

The project is phenomenal after the craziness of the past year and a half. – Governor Whitmer

Governor Whitmer said that the project is phenomenal after the craziness of the past year and a half.

“If you think of the craziness of the last year and a half and the fact that this community and all of these leaders came together to make this happen really is a testament to the fact that when you center your work around partnership and around people, you can get big things done,” she said. “This is a major investment in this community’s health.”

The community health center is located at 35700 Warren Road in Westland. A video of the grand opening event can be seen on the city’s Facebook page.
