DETROIT – A vacant hospital in Lincoln Park will be converted into an overflow hospital thanks to a $500,000 grant from Wayne County amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The 128,000 square-foot Vibra Hospital will be overhauled by Insight Surgical Hospital to serve as an 80-bed overflow medical center with the capacity to offer up to 440 beds if needed, officials said.

Officials say Insight Surgical Hospital plans to invest $21.5 million in renovations to convert the facility into a surgical center specializing in neuroscience once the COVID-19 pandemic ceases. The new surgical center is expected to create 300 jobs, officials said.
