C.S. Mott Children's Hospital

History

The University of Michigan first established a pediatric program in 1903 when they opened up a 75-bed children's unit. The unit was one of the first dedicated pediatric units' in the nation.

In 1965, American businessman and philanthropist C.S. Mott donated $6.5 million to the University of Michigan to help the university build its first children's hospital. The 200 bed hospital served about 3,500 children in its first year of operation.

In the late 1980s, the university renovated its pediatric wards to accommodate private patient rooms instead of previous open wards.

The new facility for the C. S. Mott Children's and Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital, opened in December 2011 following the completion of a $754 million, five-year construction project. It is one of the largest children's hospitals in the United States. The hospital is 1100000 sqft and consists of a 12-story inpatient wing and a nine-story outpatient wing. There are 348 beds, including 50 maternity rooms and 46 neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) rooms. The expansion increases the number of beds at the hospital by 75 percent and makes the hospital the largest of Michigan's three children's hospitals. Every inpatient room is private, in contrast to the old facility, which had mostly double occupancy rooms. The new hospital has 16 operating rooms and two interventional radiology rooms. The first Women's Hospital opened in 1950, while the original C.S. Mott Children's Hospital opened in 1969 and traces its origin to a small ward for sick children that began in 1903.

The new hospital was the most expensive building project in University of Michigan history and one of the most expensive construction projects in state history. Of the $754 million cost, the university financed $588 million through tax-exempt bonds, $91 million through cash reserves from hospital operations, and $75 million through fundraising.

The Charles Stewart Mott foundation contributed $25 million to the construction of the new hospital. The building contains 348 single, private room beds divided between the children's and women's hospital including a dedicated pediatric emergency department and trauma center.

University of Michigan officials have released plans to convert the old 1969 era C.S. Mott Children's Hospital building into renovated patient wards for the adult University Hospital to allow for the addition of private patient rooms.

The children's hospital is consistently ranked as one of the top pediatric centers in the country according to U.S. News & World Report.

In August 2020, doctors at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital successfully separated 1-year-old conjoined twins Sarabeth and Amelia Irwin. The twins were attached at the liver and the surgery to detach the twins took about 11 hours. The twins became the first pair of conjoined twins to be successfully separated in Michigan.

In November 2020, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson collaborated with Microsoft and billionaire Bill Gates to donate Xbox Series X consoles to C.S. Mott Children's Hospital along with 19 other children's hospitals throughout the country.
