Respiratory Therapy Apprentice Lakeland

About Corewell Health Lakeland

Our mission at Corewell Health Lakeland is “to improve health, inspire hope and save lives.” We live this mission every day by providing compassionate care and encouraging wellness. We encourage you and your family to be active, involved, and informed in your care.

We provide leading-edge medical services, highly specialized healthcare professionals, and quality care. We’re a not-for-profit, community-owned health system, which includes three hospitals, an outpatient surgery center, long-term care, and hospice care through over 56 access points in Southwest Michigan.

The history of Lakeland dates back to the 1800s, when our hospitals first began meeting the needs of area residents. Today, we are proud to continue that tradition of service to our neighbors in the community with safe, high-quality, compassionate care.

The newly added 22,000-square-foot facility in Niles, Michigan will have 43 exam rooms and will house both Southwestern Medical Primary Care, Niles and Spectrum Health Lakeland Ear, Nose, and Throat providers. The $7.8 million project is expected to be completed and open to patients March 2023. This facility is a continued investment in our Niles community and the health of those we serve. It houses a range of coordinated health services from diagnostics to primary and specialty care, all in one place, allowing us to deliver care to a patient’s whole family, right in their community.

Lakeland Care Network

Lakeland Care Network is a partnership between your physician and Corewell Health Lakeland. We are the largest Accountable Care Organization (ACO) in southwestern Michigan. We are not an insurance company, but rather a comprehensive health care network of hospitals, physicians, and other providers who share a commitment to excellence.

Our provider panel consists of more than 150 primary care providers, and over 800 specialty care providers who are dedicated to serving the health care needs of our community. Corewell Health Lakeland includes three acute care hospitals in St. Joseph, Niles, and Watervliet, as well as multiple other state-of-the-art facilities throughout the region.
