U-M will purchase an existing facility located at 7300 West Joy Road, Dexter, Michigan and renovate approximately 48,000 gross square feet at that location. This purchase and renovation will house an expansion of the specialty and mail order pharmacy program, address deferred maintenance and update life safety and building code items throughout the entire 144,300 gross square feet of building space, situated on 23.57 acres of land. This investment is required for the growth of Specialty Pharmacy services to more than double the number of prescriptions filled per year through in-house pharmacy and better meet the needs of patients. Specialty Pharmacy’s expansion is based on providing high quality, convenient care for all patients and achieving progress through multidisciplinary collaborations. The project furthers commitment to accelerating change and promoting a positive patient experience in a competitive market, driving innovative health care delivery models. Specialty Pharmacy’s expansion will contribute to financial sustainability across Michigan Medicine, in support of the tripartite mission.
