University of Michigan Health-Sparrow recently celebrated the opening of a new rehabilitation center in Ionia. Located at 205 S. Dexter St., UM Health-Sparrow Ionia Rehabilitation Center combines with a pain management clinic that opened at the site in April, responding to a community need for rehabilitation services close to home.

The new center will offer comprehensive rehabilitation services all under one roof for patients of all ages. Services will include pediatric care, student athletes, work injury, pain management, post-stroke and post-injury support, outpatient physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy.

The project was partly funded by a $1 million grant from the United States Department of Agriculture to improve rural health care and enhance rehabilitation services.

The location is significantly larger than the previous rehabilitation center in Ionia – 7,524 square feet compared to 1,400. The newly renovated building expands services for the region and ensures access for our community, reducing the need to travel far for services. By repurposing an existing building, the project transforms a previously vacant space into a vibrant community asset.
