Trinity Health Livingston Prepares for
Spring Transition to New Hospital Campus
Virtual Town Hall on March 31 and In-Person Open House on April 11
Offer Livingston Community Opportunity to Preview New Hospital Campus
BRIGHTON, Mich. (March 10, 2026) – Trinity Health Livingston is preparing for a major transition this spring as it relocates from its legacy campus in Howell to a new, state‑of‑the‑art campus in Brighton. As construction on the new campus nears completion, transition efforts are set to begin later this month, with full operations for the new hospital set to launch on Sunday, April 19, 2026.
Hospital administrators, in coordination with vendors, community partners, and county and state regulatory agencies, are managing the move to ensure the safe, orderly transfer of patients and equipment and the uninterrupted delivery of high‑quality care.
“Moving a hospital is like moving a small city,” said John O’Malley, president of Trinity Health Livingston and the Trinity Health Medical Center Brighton. “It’s a monumental task that requires more than a year of planning and literally hundreds of caregivers, vendors, and government officials working together towards a common goal, with the safety and well‑being of patients and the communities we serve as our number one priority. We’ve been talking about a new hospital in Livingston County for more than a decade, and I’m excited to finally enter the homestretch in turning our vision into reality.”
Key transition dates include:
- March 31: A Virtual Community Town Hall with hospital President John O’Malley and chief clinical leaders is scheduled for 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. To join the town hall at the scheduled time, click here: Attend Virtual Town Hall. The community can also submit questions in advance for hospital leadership to address during the town hall: Submit Your Question.
- April 11: A community open house for the public will take place from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Attendees may register in person upon arrival. The open house will feature a scavenger hunt with prizes, opportunities to test out a surgical robot, and the chance to explore vehicles from Livingston County EMS, fire, police, and MedFlight.
- April 19: On the day of the move, Trinity Health will have extra staff in place at both facilities to meet the needs of all patients and to ensure medical personnel are available for anyone requiring additional assistance. Beginning at 4 a.m., all ambulances will be directed to the new Emergency Department (ED) in Brighton, while the legacy ED in Howell will remain open for walk‑in emergency care until 1 p.m.; all walk‑in patients who arrive prior to 1 p.m. will receive a medical screening exam. After 1 p.m., all emergency care will be provided at the new hospital location in Brighton.
The new Trinity Health Livingston is located at 7555 Grand River in Brighton, across from 2|42 Church, approximately eight miles from the legacy hospital campus in Howell. The hospital is a four‑story, 174,000‑square‑foot facility with 56 acuity‑adaptable beds, allowing medical teams to care for patients across a wide range of conditions and severity levels without needing to move them from room to room. There are also several bariatric rooms built to accommodate the needs of this patient population.
When fully open, the expanded campus will include 18 Short Stay Unit beds, 8 licensed operating rooms, intensive cardiac rehabilitation services, and a hospital‑based medical and surgical specialty practice. In addition, the hospital has acquired new medical equipment, including a cardiac‑capable CT scanner and two fixed MRI machines, and features two shelled clinical spaces that can support future growth based on community needs.
These investments significantly enhance the hospital’s imaging capabilities, enabling earlier detection, shorter scan times, and clearer, more advanced diagnostic imaging. This includes expanded MRI services and a new SPECT/CT system, which provides greater accuracy and confidence in diagnosis, helping ensure patients can access a higher level of care close to home.
