The U-M Health System is building a new $754 million C.S. Mott Children's Hospital and Women's Hospital that is set to open in 2012. The 1.1 million square feet facility will provide a new and larger home for specialty services not offered anywhere else in Michigan for newborns, children and pregnant women, such as the pediatric liver transplant program, the Level I Pediatric Trauma Program, the Pediatric and Adolescent Home Ventilator Program, the Craniofacial Anomalies Program, high-risk pregnancy services and specialty gynecological
services.

Plans for the new children's and women's facility include16 pediatric operating rooms, four pediatric surgical procedure rooms, four Caesarean section suites, and 264 private inpatient beds upon opening, including 50 single room maternity care beds, with capacity for an additional 84 beds in the future.


About U.S.News & World Report's ranking and methodology: Ranking-eligible facilities were largely drawn from members of the National Association of Children's Hospitals and Related Institutions in either of two categories-a freestanding children's hospital or a children's "hospital within a hospital" (a large, multidisciplinary pediatric service within a medical center). In addition, several non-NACHRI members were added because of known expertise or at the recommendation of experts. Of the 143 children's hospitals invited to complete a survey asking for information as detailed as whether a center offers postgraduate fellowships in pediatric cardiology, 113 responded. The survey was constructed by RTI international, which collects the data and oversees the methodology
behind the adult Best Hospitals rankings.
