About the Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital
Exceptional Women’s Health Care
Von Voigtlander Women’s Hospital offers expert, comprehensive and compassionate care for women at every stage of life.
The University of Michigan Women’s Hospital opened in 1950 with a focus on providing world-class maternity and obstetrics services. It also housed facilities to teach nursing and medical students, and supported research dedicated to transforming care for all women.
Roughly 60 years later – in November 2011 – we moved into our new home in the state-of-the-art, 12-story C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital and Von Voigtlander Women’s Hospital facility, with the support of a $15 million gift from the Ted and Jane Von Voigtlander Foundation.
The women’s hospital encompasses a birthing center that features 50 private labor, delivery and recovery rooms, a perinatal assessment center, a high-risk labor and delivery area, a neonatal intensive care unit and a fetal surgery program. The entire facility is the length of two football fields at 1.1 million square feet and consists of two conjoined towers that will bridge inpatient and outpatient services.
